Goblin Diving Center

Goblin Diving Center is a PADI 5 Star IDC facility on the waterfront at Al Aqah, on the Fujairah coast of the United Arab Emirates. Its focus is teaching the full spectrum of diving skills, from entry-level courses all the way up to the Course Director rating, with a team of 21 PADI instructors on hand.

Courses, sites and what it's known for

Alongside PADI scuba training, the center offers snorkelling, EFR first aid, and adaptive diving, plus Enriched Air (Nitrox) for divers who want longer bottom time. A house reef and dive boat put local waters within easy reach, where you might encounter sharks, rays, turtles, eels, molluscs and crustaceans, corals, anemones and reef fish.

On-site facilities include a classroom, retail shop, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking, and food and drinks. Air fills, equipment sales and rental, and a dive club round out the services, and the team works in English, Arabic and Russian — making it a welcoming base for beginners and continuing divers alike.
