Nemo Diving Center

Diving on the Palm Jumeirah

Nemo Diving Center sits on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a magnificent view overlooking Dubai Marina and JBR. It's a waterfront base built for easy days in the water — an air-conditioned office, a dive shop where you can buy equipment, free Wi-Fi, valet parking and both indoor and outdoor showers, which makes it an equally comfortable spot for a group of friends or a family vacation.

As a PADI 5 Star IDC centre with 10 PADI instructors, the training menu covers divers at every stage. Returning divers can shake off the rust with the PADI Scuba Refresher from USD 85, while the PADI Open Water Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver courses both run with eLearning. If you'd rather simply get wet, the Half-Day Dive Trip takes roughly four hours.

Local diving centres on Nemo reef, reached by the centre's own dive boat. Air fills, nitrox, equipment sales and scuba equipment rental are all handled in house, and staff work in English and Arabic.
