Reserve your spot on the From Abu Dhabi: 2 Dives for Certified Divers in Fujairah today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring your certification card
You must present an open-water certification; rentals are available but non-certified divers cannot join the dives.
Hydrate before and after
Long travel and sun combined with diving increases dehydration risk—drink water during surface intervals and after the trip.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply sunscreen on the boat and avoid lotion contact with coral—reefs in the Gulf are sensitive to chemical runoff.
Plan for sea conditions
Summer can bring chop and reduced visibility; if you’re prone to motion sickness, bring medication and sit mid-boat.
Dive certification card
Proof of certification is mandatory for participating in certified dives.
Dive computer or depth gauge
Tracks depth and no-decompression limits for safe dive planning during both dives.
Light wetsuit (3mm)
Water temperatures on the East Coast can be cool in winter; a thin wetsuit provides thermal comfort and protection.
