Scuba diving and snorkeling United Arab Emirates

Your guides will take you to the Dhabi foreshore to discover the mangrove, an ecosystem that is richer than you might think. The woody plants plunge their stilt roots into the mud. In addition to this outing, Noukhada offers a full calendar of activities, boating, diving, and snorkeling, including day trips and "mystery" night trips. Finding the launch site is like orienting yourself in a construction zone, so make sure to note the access map.

Al Mahara Diving Center offers diving trips to the crystal clear waters of Abu Dhabi and further east to the Mussamdam enclave. You can discover sharks, dugongs, sea turtles and other unsuspected wildlife. The depths are not very deep in the Arabian Sea, so this is still a fairly easy trip. For those who prefer to snorkel, there are also excursions available. It is possible to take courses to obtain the Padi. Paddle, kayak and several motorized water sports are also available.

Founded in 2009 by Emirati enthusiasts Adel Abu Haliqa and Alex Boulting, this is the only dive club in the emirates to offer free diving (deep snorkeling with fins and mask). They organize weekend trips for snorkeling enthusiasts to discover the depths of the Gulf and the underwater fauna. Introductory and advanced courses take place every month in the pool and then at sea. An extraordinary experience that also pays tribute to pearl fishermen!
