Divers Down Dubai

Since 2002, Divers Down UAE has been introducing newcomers and seasoned divers alike to the underwater world, and its Dubai branch in Al Quoz Industrial Area 4 carries that legacy forward. A PADI 5 Star IDC Resort with five PADI Instructors, it has become a first choice for expats and tourists thanks to its family-friendly, club-like atmosphere.

Courses and dive sites

The centre runs a full slate of PADI courses, from Boat Diver and Peak Performance Buoyancy through to Underwater Navigator, Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Digital Underwater Photographer, Search and Recovery Diver, and Equipment Specialist. Training happens at the onsite pool and classroom before divers head out to sites such as the Habtoor Grand Resort Scuba Shade training site and the Dibba Rock diving excursion.

Underwater, you may encounter sharks, whales, turtles, and ocean fish. On land, expect air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, parking, air fills, and equipment rental. Staff speak English, Zulu, Filipino, and Afrikaans, making it a welcoming base for divers of every level.
