The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive hydrated and early
Morning departures are calmer on the water and you’ll avoid the hottest hours—drink water before you ride.
Protect your phone
Use a waterproof case or dry bag; instructors may offer photos but don’t rely on loose devices.
Sun protection is critical
Dubai’s sun is intense year-round—apply reef-safe sunscreen and wear UV-protective clothing.
Listen to the safety briefing
Basic throttle and steering control is covered quickly—pay attention to hand signals and return protocol.

Operators and visitors should avoid littering and use reef-safe sunscreen; shallow coastal zones are sensitive to wakes and anchoring, so follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
