Best SCUBA instructors in United Arab Emirates

I was so amazingly fortunate to experience diving at the mall last month.
It was without a doubt one of the greatest experiences of my life. To be up and close to the life in the aquarium was something I’ll never ever forget.
I had an instructor and guide named Gordon, he was absolutely amazing and made the whole experience so much better, I had only used a regulator once in my life, but after his brief training and absolute professionalism and having him next to me for the dive was such an amazing experience and can’t wait till next time in Dubai to experience it again.
If you’re considering it don’t hesitate, just do it!

Great Experience! One of our favourite activities on our last visit to Dubai. Special thanks to Ahmad, Kim and Mahmoud.

This very capable team was able to help my wife overcome her fears and we had a wonderful experience inside the tank.

Would definitely come back for another round.

Unforgettable Diving Experience at Dubai Mall Aquarium with Al Boom Diving

I had the incredible opportunity to dive in the Dubai Mall Aquarium with Al Boom Diving, and it was an experience I'll never forget. From start to finish, the team at Al Boom Diving, especially Jaypee, provided exceptional instruction and guidance.

Jaypee, in particular, deserves special mention for his excellent communication skills in explaining the diving instructions. His clear and concise guidance made me feel confident and prepared for the dive ahead.

Not only was the diving experience exhilarating, but it was also incredibly fun. Exploring the vibrant underwater world amidst the stunning marine life was truly a one-of-a-kind adventure.

Moreover, I was impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by the entire team at Al Boom Diving. From ensuring our safety to providing personalized assistance, they went above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Al Boom Diving for their outstanding hospitality and exceptional service. It's evident that they are passionate about what they do, and their dedication shines through in every aspect of the experience.

We went to the shark dive experience. Highly recommend, prices are reasonable and many fishes and sharks to see.

The staff and diving instructors are also very friendly and helpful.

Excellent! Professional Divers !! 100% safe and enjoy for families , children and Adults! We will do again !

Amazing experience with personal instructor Ahmed, we got equipment firstly and then changed into diving costume. After that staff gave us training and then we practiced to breathe underwater with help of equipment. It was completely different experience

Amazing experience! Beautiful fish and feels like you are in another world once you go into this beautiful aquarium. My only complaint which I can understand on their end but was pretty annoying after some time was the amount of paperwork before the dive. I think I just have signed my name like 20 different times for all sorts of health declarations and etc… Other than that I highly recommend this experience 🐠💚

Thank you for the good experienced here at dive campus. The staffs are very nice and most of all the coach they will teach u very informative in every detail. It was my first time to tried it and its such a good experience for
me and my friends we enjoyed it a lot. We will definitely come back! Thank you dive campus! High five!!

Million Thanks to instructor SAGARA. A wonderful person who helped my 12 y.o. son in his birthday his dream came true! Definitely will recommend the experience with Al Boom Team.

Great diving experience and good team , Cecil is a one of the best instructors ever. 🤘

My scuba diving course was amazing! The couches were very helpful with all the information needed and very patient. The dive tank it's very special made so they can make for you beautiful pictures and clips.
The stuff was also very friendly and nice.
A great thing is that Dive Campus has a very big store downstairs with everything needed for snorkeling, scuba diving or spear fishing. I had so much fun and I truly recommend it to everyone who wants to have physical activity, but in the same time to increase their confidence and create some great memories. 🥰💫🤿🌊

I loved the experience so much . The instructor mr . Ahmed was really clear and amazing . I have tried other places before but this place really stands out and is a must for all diving enthusiasts even if you have zero diving experience before . They have the region’s largest dive tank made of up cycling shipping tanks and you can find everything related to diving at that place . You will never feel bored there , as they have several entertainment tools from card games , table tennis , guitar , hoop and many more . I really loved the place and definitely will get back to it again

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable scuba experience! The instructor was knowledgeable and patient. UAE's first concept store had everything I needed, and their enormous dive tank made with shipping containers was a must-see. Highly recommended for diving enthusiasts seeking quality instruction and a unique shopping experience. A dive adventure like no other! 🤿🌊

Had the most awesome experience at Dive Campus, Ahmed and Ivan our Instructors really made us feel safe throughout the session. I must say I had become a totally different person after it, Its just nice to learn a new thing and suddenly you realize your perspective changes, change for the better specially before that I’m afraid with the water, now I’ve learned how to be one with it. Also like to thank Mariam and Jhazline for assisting us! And to the rest of the divers 💙 fun experience to try to beat the heat this summer 💙

In love with my experience in Dive Campus 💙
I brought my family (my mum and my sisters) to try diving. Instructors were so friendly, helpful and patient. The atmosphere there was just incredible.
In the end everyone was so happy and proud of themselves, that they managed to learn, how to dive 🤗
They have also entertainment zone to chill and shopping area for professional divers 😍

Best diving center in the UAE
Master Yasser Al Assal is one of rhe best divers in the world i highly recommend visiting the center and taking courses with him worth every single penny

Really great staff. I did OWD and Advanced OWD with Mermaid Diving center and had Yasser as my teacher.

Thank you very much.

Definitely one of my unforgettable and best experiences! ❤️😭 it was my first time and I had an amazing experience. instructor Ahmed was really helpful and professional. I was really nervous at first and he was able to keep me calm. He thought me the basics. Guiding me through everything. 🫶🏻 Dive Campus holds the region's largest indoor 'Dive Tank', made with upcycled shipping containers. They provide premium training in scuba diving, free diving, spear fishing and snorkeling. For sure I’ll be back soon!! 😍 I’d recommend this place to everyone 💕

The best place for your recreational and tech diving needs in Dubai. Awesome in house training pool will let you start you dive training immediately. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and extremely friendly, always trying to accommodate any requests one may have. I have been diving for 26 years and this shop is my Go To dive shop in Dubai. Thank you Divers Down Team.

Mohammed, the person managing scubatec is simply put one of the best people I’ve met in my diving career. I’ve bought ALL my dive gear from him. Always gotten the best price, and they’re always a text away if I ever need anything. Also, super chill and always accommodating my needs.

The Mermaid diving centre based at ‘Rixos The Palm’ hotel, is a fantastic dive centre.

It’s run by Yasser, accompanied by diving professionals Hamid and Aaron.

Our kids have been diving here now for 5 years, the eldest completed his PADI open water junior about 3 years ago and our youngest (now 10 years old) has just completed the same course.

Starting with 2 pool dives to gain confidence and skills before progressing into the sea - the theory assisted by ‘The Captain’ Yasser was also completed whilst we were here - once qualified it is followed by a fun recreation dive, all logged on the PADI app.

This really is a gem of a find, and one of the reasons we return to Rixos hotel every October - I believe they take clients from anywhere though, it isn’t limited to hotel guests.

Overall, a highly recommended diving centre!

I can not express enough how amazing of an experience I had here, the instructors were very nice and well educated and made me feel exceptionally comfortable. This was my first dive ever and the instructor took amazing care of me, they teach you everything you need to know to be safe and guide you the whole way. The animals are absolutely beautiful and it’s an experience I will never forget, being in the water with these creatures is beyond amazing and the price is very good. Thank you guys so much for an unforgettable time, if I make it back to Dubai I will absolutely be back!

I think the website over promises and the shop under delivers. Seems like fantastic selection and I was keen on sharkskin LS top. I sent a contact last night to enquire whether the item on the website is in stock...nothing...justbthe sounds of crickets. I then drove to the shop and the selection is very small and it certainly didn't have the sharkskin wetsuit available. The employee definatelynwasntbandiver and his into was pretty weak.. Altogether a waste of time

Highly recommend. The owner is very kind and professional. The range of equipment and prices are good!

Great people to dive with. Very organized and safe, yet super friendly and relaxed. Love this place.

Yesser and Mohammad were absolutely amazing diving instructors! I really enjoyed doing my padi course with them - I cannot recommend them enough - Every year I come back to Dubai I will dive with them them. I have done dives in Spain, Croatia, Turkey and none of them were as good as Yesser and Mohammad. Thank you gentlemen

The best team at Mermaid diving centre

I have been shopping for dive gear all over UAE for the past 7-8 years, have met all kind of pushy sales men, to freelance pseudo distributors to dive shop owners. But never have I come across, an owner/manager who puts customer interest before profits like Mohammed.

Not only does he give best price and service in UAE, but also the peace of mind that you are not getting ripped off.

Fully functional dive shop, with large classroom for PADI courses and all kind of rentals.

The most honest and reasonable place in UAE to buy dive gear!!

Mohammed will even source brands and gear that he doesn't carry at the best price possible for you.

Highly recommended for beginners and advanced divers.

Mohammad is the man! he's got almost everything u need for Scuba to offer and at a really reasonable price !!!!! The place to gear up for Sure!

Just finished a one on one open water course there and can 110 % recommend it. Yasser (leader) is very experienced and knowledgeable and also his staff (in particular Mohammed) are very professional and nice. It was an awesome experience. The training ground is just next to the school and very convenient with some decent fish to look at.
The team went out of their way to give my son a fun dive experience in the pool which was a real highlight for him.
Overall top notch and much better than any other experienced I had in other holiday locations.
Greetings from Germany

Experience was amazing! From the moment me and my girlfriend enter we were welcomed with the best hospitality. Everything was explained easy and to the point. Instructor Yasser knows his field well. It was the first time for me and I am glad we took our time and enjoyed the experience at its fullest! Fully recommend!!!;)))

I got my PADI diving license here! Great instructors and great facilities and services! Highly recommended.

First of all a big thank you to Mermaid Diving Center who helped me take my first steps in diving, it was amazing. It is very hard to imagine a friendlier atmosphere. Mr. Yasser is a very experienced professional instructor, so the training went without any problems. I truly miss this place and the guys at this dive center. And I would like to go back there again and continue my training because I fully trust their professionalism.

The best diving experience ever! It was our first time diving, we were recommended this place by our friend Ahmed Mansi and it was truly the best experience ever! Thank you to our diving instructor who was friends with Ahmed for making the dive so easy and one of the best experiences ever! We highly recommend them!

I think this is one of the most reasonable and friendly places for SCUBA gear in Dubai. They have a wide variety of products from the widest variety of brands i've seen in any store in Dubai (all other shops seem to focus on just one or two). Their prices are very reasonable. And Mohamed who is managing the shop is super friendly and helpful with recommendations and advice!

Definitely the best diving school in UAE.
Actually, the best diving school ever dived at.
I did my OW and AOW with Mo and recently Rescue Diver with Cecil.
Both are amazing instructors, who are passionate about diving but also amazing at teaching.
I really enjoy the vibe at Divers Down and continue diving with them.
Much recommended for courses but also dives.
Thank you Divers Down! Your staff is just amazing.

Excellent facilities. Indoor pool.

This is one of the best diveshops in UAE! Friendly team, and moderate prices.
Ask for Mohamed Khonjy he operates the shop.
They provide courses, rental gears, and offer gear purchase

It's good to learning diveing here

Newly opened Scuba Diving Training center they have all the equipment for diving. the staff is well mannered and very helpful, they also conduct practical training in Jumeirah and Fujairah
