Sandy Beach Dive Academy

Sandy Beach Dive Academy is a PADI 5-Star IDC Dive Resort set inside the Marine National Park at Al Aqah, looking directly out onto Snoopy Island. Based at the longest operating resort in the area, it runs as a family environment where every diver feels welcome, with seven PADI instructors upholding the latest training standards and cutting-edge teaching techniques.

Courses and house reef

The centre offers daily trips and a full range of training, from the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience and the ReActivate refresher through to Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver. A full scuba service includes Nitrox and technical diving facilities, with shore dives starting from USD 42. The house reef at Snoopy Island brims with marine life and delivers the best shore diving along the Fujairah coastline.

Beyond the house reef, divers can explore sites such as Martini Rock, Shark Island, Hole in the Wall, 3 Rocks, and the Inchcape wrecks. Onsite facilities include a training pool, classroom, retail shop, and a waterfront base, making it a natural fit for new and returning divers alike.
