Two Boat Dives at Dibba, Fujairah — for Certified Divers
A morning on the Gulf of Oman side: two guided boat dives with about forty-five minutes of bottom time each, in groups of four or five per guide.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 4h · up to 5 guests · AED 350 per person · EN
What is this tour like?
The east coast is where UAE divers actually go. Dibba sits on the Gulf of Oman, an hour and a half or so from Dubai by road, and the water there behaves nothing like the Gulf side — deeper, cooler, with rock reefs instead of sand.
The trip is built for people who already hold a card. Check-in at the harbour is at eight, the boat leaves at half past, and you make two guided dives with roughly forty-five minutes on the bottom each, separated by a surface interval with snacks and something cold to drink. Guides take four or five divers at a time, so nobody is chasing a line of fins through the blue.
Tanks, weights and the guide are in the price. Full equipment rental and nitrox cost extra, and the Dubai transfer — a 05:30 departure — is booked separately if you don't want to drive yourself.
