About the Trip

Discover Scuba Diving in Dubai is a guided introductory scuba trip designed for anyone who wants to experience breathing underwater for the first time — no certification required. This experience takes place in open water under the direct supervision of a professional instructor, making it ideal for first-time divers who want a safe, structured, and memorable introduction to scuba diving. The trip begins with a detailed briefing where participants learn basic scuba principles, safety rules, and underwater communication. Once comfortable, you’ll enter the water and complete a guided dive to a maximum depth of around 12 meters, with your instructor supporting you throughout the experience. The focus is on calm progression, confidence-building, and enjoying the underwater environment at an easy pace. This trip is perfect for those curious about scuba diving and looking to try it before enrolling in a full certification course.

I have joined Nemo Diving Center on more than handful of their diving and snorkelling day trips, and recently experienced their incredible overnight trip to Oman. It was clear from my first trip that they will forever remain my choice of dive center in the UAE, they are something special. It is the staff that sets this center apart from the crowd. Read More

It was an amazing experience, the Snoopy Island has lots of variety of fishes. We went for snorkeling when the professionals took their first dive and then we dived during their second dive and after it with some time left we did snorkeling again. Read More

It was my first time going on a diving trip to Musandam. I loved the idea of a one day trip only. Nemo diving center is amazing with their communication, organization and follow ups. They are a very kind, friendly and professional team. Read More
