    Facinating adventure
    Fascinating Snorkeling Adventure with Marine Life and Delicious Barbecue in the Gulf of Oman!
    My wife and I had the pleasure of embarking on a snorkeling tour together in the Gulf of Oman, where we were captivated by the mesmerizing underwater world and the warmth of the guides. During the tour, we were fortunate to observe not only sea turtles in their natural habitat but also catch a glimpse of the impressive dorsal fin of a shark. After the thrilling snorkeling experience, we were treated to a delectable barbecue, which served as the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. This snorkeling tour in the Gulf of Oman offers a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of the sea while being accompanied by friendly guides.

    Great experience start to finish
    Process was easy from booking to the beginning the actual activity. I had the honour of being instructed pretty much 1 on 1 by brother Ahmad from Egypt - an absolute gem of a human being, so personable and patient with me as a beginner. He ensured that I was safe, and always notified me to look at exciting marine life (whatever was available in the cloudy sandy seas off the Palm in Dubai). We must have descended approximately 8-10 meters below sea level and it was the experience of a lifetime. I will be sure to use this service again and hopefully have him as instructor again when going to the clearer waters of Fujairah. He even took great shots and videos using a gopro which were then promptly sent over via WeTransfer. Great experience, reasonable price, easy to find, great instruction. 11/10 all round rating. Thank you all.

    Excellent Experience and Phenomenal Dive Center!
    From beginning until the end of the day, it was very professional and well organized. The equipment was already put together and on the boat when I arrived. The dive center is unlike any other dive center I have been to before - it is clean, private and has a very relaxed yet personal feel. Samir and Karim were fantastic guides and took us to two dive sites. One sight was a wreck where we were able to penetrate through it and the other was a reef where Samir found so many micro organisms that most dive guides would swim strait past. One thing that really stood out to me was the love and care they have for the ocean. They made sure that no rubbish was thrown in and have such an extensive knowledge about the area and the different fish species. After we got back the guides cleaned all of our equipment while we had a long hot shower and finished with a delicious BBQ. The day was amazing and relaxing on the sun beds after the dive was a great way to end the day. Thank you Samir for helping me today and giving me some helpful tips to make my dive trim better … and thank you for answering all my questions about the dive sites and reefs, I know I asked a lot!

    Overall I highly recommend this dive center over all others in the UAE because it is extremely professional, clean, comfortable and very well organized with guides who care about you and the ocean.

    Good discovery session, better options for experienced diverse to other islands
    Great first discovery scuba session!

    I got my PADI certificate two years ago in Hong Kong but haven't used it since, so this was a perfect refresher course for me in shallow easy waters.

    It's a good start for beginners to get the hang of the equipment and breathing underwater, but if you're certified and have been diving elsewhere, there are much better options and they even advised me prior that licensed diverse normally they'll take to another island.

    With that being said, there were a few cool fish to see. Staff was very friendly and helpful and I love that if you ask them to take lots of photos/videos of you underwater, they will.

    great place to learn diving
    Courses very professional and conducted by really excellent instructors. Good equipment and conditions for diving, and above all, a sense of safety under water. I'm going back for another course next month. I would highly recommend.

Our trips to Fujeirah was amazing. Watersports and snorkeling were the highlights.

    Unfortunate Customer Service
    After calling, checking in with the operaters, paying and making plans, they cancelled our booking on short notice. Ruined our holiday plans. Recommend booking another tour with a more professional staff.
