About this experience
This is a guided scuba dive in the Arabian Gulf, run to PADI standards and open to complete beginners as readily as to certified divers. If it is your first time, the essentials are taught on land first - breathing on a regulator, equalising, the hand signals and the safety techniques - before you enter the water with a trained professional diver alongside you for the full thirty-minute dive. Equipment is provided in full, along with towel and slipper use, and underwater photos and video are taken during the dive and given to you afterwards. The Gulf is warm year-round and the shallow sites are calm, which makes this a far gentler introduction to diving than a first dive in most other parts of the world. The booking runs about three hours from arrival to finish.
