🌊 What to Expect

The session begins with arrival at the dive centre and a 30-minute classroom briefing covering safety, equipment use, and basic underwater communication. This is followed by 30 minutes of in-water training in shallow conditions, allowing time to practise breathing and movement before the dive.

Once comfortable, you’ll complete a guided open-water dive lasting up to 45 minutes. The instructor remains with you throughout, controlling depth and pace based on your comfort level. The focus is on relaxed exploration rather than skill progression, making this suitable for complete beginners.

Photos and videos are taken during the experience and provided afterwards at no extra cost. Towels, slippers, and refreshments are available on site, and the total experience runs to around three hours from start to finish.

📍 Location

The dive takes place at La Mer Beach, a central coastal area with calm entry conditions. From the water, divers can see Dubai’s skyline, including distant views towards Burj Khalifa on clear days.

The location is chosen for accessibility, shallow depth, and suitability for introductory dives.
