Age limits vary by operator; discovery programs sometimes accept teens with parental consent, while certification courses typically start around age 10–12 depending on agency.
Most trips last about three hours from boarding to return, with roughly 30–45 minutes of bottom time per dive.
Dubai's dive sites often rely on purpose-sunk wrecks and constructed reef modules installed in recent decades to create habitat and recreational options where natural reefs are limited.
Operators emphasize no-touch policies and reef-safe products; divers are encouraged to buoyancy-train to prevent contact with sensitive growth and to support local reef restoration efforts.
