Two Dives in Fujairah: Half-Day Certified Scuba Adventure with Live BBQ
Spend a half-day diving two of Fujairah’s best sites with a dive master, snorkeling and a live BBQ on board. This trip pairs accessible reef diving with a relaxed surface interval and return transfers from Dubai available for a fee.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring your certification and logbook
Operators require proof of scuba certification and may check recent dives—have physical or digital copies ready before boarding.
Hydrate and protect from the sun
Bring a reusable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen for surface intervals—the Arabian sun intensifies on the water.
Plan your flights around diving
Do not fly within 18 hours after your last dive to reduce decompression risk—schedule return travel accordingly.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take recommended medication before departure and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
