Leave Abu Dhabi for a full day on Fujairah's east coast with two guided boat dives, scenic transfer, and a BBQ lunch on land, designed for certified divers who want reef time and door-to-door logistics without hiring a car or chartering a boat separately.
Your day begins with collection from your Abu Dhabi hotel for the drive to Dibba Al Fujairah. On arrival you check in, present certification and ID, fit equipment, and board the dive boat for two separate reef dives chosen for the day's conditions.
Between dives you enjoy a BBQ lunch with soft drinks on shore or at a suitable stop arranged by the crew. Surface intervals give time to rest and log dives before the second entry, and the return transfer brings you back to Abu Dhabi in the evening.
Dives run from Dibba Al Fujairah on the UAE east coast, where Gulf of Oman reefs offer coral outcrops, reef fish, and clear water that contrasts with the city skyline you left behind in Abu Dhabi.
The included transfer covers the long coastal highway so you can enjoy scenic views and rest stops without navigating unfamiliar roads yourself. Fujairah's east coast is a well-known diving corridor for UAE residents and visitors who want a change from city beaches.
Valid open water certification or above, photo ID, and passport for coastguard registration are required. You should be comfortable with a full day that combines several hours of road travel with two boat dives and time ashore for lunch.
Junior divers follow agency limits. If your last dive was some time ago, be upfront when booking so the team can advise on a refresher or skills check before the boat departs.
One booking covers Abu Dhabi pickup, two dives, lunch, and return transfer, which suits travellers who want a hassle-free reef day without stitching together taxi, boat, and meal arrangements.
The full-day format lets you experience east coast diving as a proper excursion rather than a rushed morning trip, with the same instructor team guiding you from check-in through the final dive log.
Collection from your Abu Dhabi hotel for the scenic drive to Dibba Al Fujairah on the east coast. Rest stops along the route break up the journey before you reach the dive centre.
Confirm your pickup point and mobile number when booking so the driver can contact you if traffic affects timing.
Arrive at the dive centre, present certification, passport and ID, and complete paperwork. The crew helps you select and fit BCD, regulator, wetsuit, weights and tanks before a boat safety briefing.
Your instructor explains the plan for two dives and answers questions about equipment or site selection for the day.
Board the dive boat for two separate reef dives with a surface interval on deck or ashore. After the second dive, enjoy BBQ lunch with soft drinks before rinsing kit and starting the return transfer to Abu Dhabi.
Log your dives and debrief with the guide before the scenic drive back to your hotel.
You must hold a recognised scuba certification at open water level or above from a major training agency. Bring your certification card or digital proof, plus a valid passport for coastguard registration on UAE boat dives.
If your last dive was more than six months ago, a refresher or skills check may be required before the boat departs. Contact the team after booking if you need advice on preparing for a full day that includes long road travel as well as two dives.
Yes. Collection and return to hotels in Abu Dhabi are included in this full day package. Confirm your hotel name, room number, and mobile number when booking so the driver can coordinate pickup at the agreed time.
The journey to Fujairah takes several hours each way with scenic stops possible along the route. Allow a full day away from Abu Dhabi including briefing, two dives, lunch, and the return transfer.
Standard scuba equipment for two boat dives is included, along with a BBQ lunch and soft drinks as part of the operator day package. The crew fits BCD, regulator, wetsuit, weights, and tanks after you arrive on the east coast.
Optional nitrox, torches, and dive computers are not included unless added at booking. Bring certification, ID, passport, towel, swimwear, and reef-safe sunscreen for time on the boat and at lunch.
The minimum age is ten years for certified junior divers. Young divers must stay within agency depth and supervision limits and may need a parent or guardian present depending on their qualification level.
All participants complete medical and liability paperwork before entering the water. Honest disclosure of health conditions helps instructors plan safe profiles for a long day that combines travel and diving.
Departures typically run from four guests up to nine on the boat, which keeps the day intimate and manageable for guides supervising certified divers. Smaller groups allow more flexibility when choosing sites for the day's conditions.
If you book for fewer than four people, check availability at checkout because the operator may combine parties to reach the minimum departure size for the Abu Dhabi transfer service.
Boat trips depend on sea conditions and coastguard approval on the east coast. If the captain postpones diving for safety, the local team will work with you to find another suitable date rather than rushing guests into marginal water.
Long transfer days make weather decisions especially important, so listen to crew briefings and be prepared for the schedule to shift slightly if harbour conditions change during the morning.
Bring certification card, passport, swimwear, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and any personal mask or fins you prefer. A light cover-up helps during the long drive and between dives on the boat.
Avoid flying within eighteen to twenty four hours after two boat dives. Plan conservative surface intervals and hydration throughout the day because travel and diving together can feel tiring for some guests.
Two guided boat dives at sites selected for tide, visibility, and group experience on the day. Typical profiles include reef walls, coral gardens, and occasional wreck features suited to certified recreational divers.
Your guide briefs each dive before entry and supervises the group throughout. Exact site names can change between trips because Gulf of Oman conditions shift through the week and season.
Yes. A valid passport is required for coastguard registration on UAE boat dives. Non-resident visitors should carry the passport they used to enter the country and keep it accessible before boarding.
The team records passenger details before departure. Without acceptable ID you may not be permitted on the boat even with a valid certification, because coastguard rules apply to every guest on recreational vessels.
After booking you receive confirmation with Abu Dhabi pickup details, suggested packing list, and local contact information. Be ready in your hotel lobby at the agreed time so the group transfer is not delayed.
Share dietary requirements, medical notes, or equipment preferences when you check in at the dive centre. Early communication helps the crew coordinate lunch, boat loading, and briefing slots for a smooth full day.
