Orca Diving Center

Orca Diving Center is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where a team of four PADI Instructors brings a serious depth of experience to the water. Collectively they hold over 10 years in the industry and have logged 3,000 dives and more per instructor, with knowledge drawn from diving in the UAE, Egypt, Thailand and Libya — all of it passed on to divers every day.

Courses and who it suits

The centre runs the full PADI training path from beginner to advanced. First-timers can try a Diving Experience for beginners, while certified divers can step up through PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, Enriched Air Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Wreck Diver, the Open Water Diver Course via e-learning, and all the way to PADI Divemaster.

Training happens at DiveCampus, the centre's own training dive site, backed by an onsite pool, classroom, house reef and dive boat. With staff speaking English, French, Arabic and Russian, it's a welcoming base for divers at any level.
