Looking to join regular divers in/around Dubai/UAE

[Aquamau5e]

Hello there,

I recently moved to Dubai and would love to start diving in the region. I have around 90 dives and dive a DIR rig with the aim of progressing to technical/cave diving eventually. If there are folks who dive regularly, I'm keen to tag along. Any advice?

Thanks a ton!

Reach out to Barracuda dive center, Divers Down, or Freestyle divers.

Good dive ops.

Hey, welcome. If you're a technical diver you should also try X Hub or Al Jazeera Dive Center

Welcome to the UAE.

There are lots of divers here and it's growing very well.

For east coast diving you should check out Barracuda Dive Center in Fujairah city at the Marina, Divers Down and Sandy Beach Divers at Al Aqah.

If you are interested in more technical diving then XR Hub also at Fujairah marina next door to Barracuda, but they are not cheap.

West coast (Dubai) you have Bermuda Divers who run a boat from Port Rashid at weekends both mornings and afternoons to various wrecks in the Gulf at AED400 for two dives.

As @Jaan mentioned above there is an organisation called the Emirates Diving Association

Contact Layla for further information. They run four movie nights per year, discounts at dive shops for members etc., and only AED100 per year.

If you want any more information DM me.
