The boat slips away from the Fairmont Fujairah shoreline and the water opens like a moving mirror, the small square of Dibba Rock resolving out at sea — roughly 100 by 100 meters of living reef. Instructors brief you on the deck while the sea breathes around the hull; you’ll don gear, listen to a short skills session, and step in for a shallow guided descent to 4–6 meters where colors and creatures keep turning toward you.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Sun is intense on deck and reflective off the water; choose reef‑safe sunscreen to protect skin and coral.
Prepare for seasickness
Take medication or sit in fresh air if you’re prone to motion sickness — the crossing can be choppy at times.
Secure footwear for boarding
Use slip‑resistant water shoes or sandals for getting on and off the dive boat and slippery docks.
Book a morning slot
Morning departures typically have flatter seas and better visibility for your first dives.
Mask and snorkel (personal)
A personally fitted mask prevents leaks and fog during surface time and before/after dives.
Shorty wetsuit (3mm) or rashguard
Provides thermal comfort and abrasion protection in cooler months and from reef contact.
