You’ll get hands-on training in deep diving around Fujairah with experienced instructors who know these waters inside out. If you want real skills—not just theory—and a certification that opens up new sites worldwide, this is your course.
I still remember the first morning—bit of a salty breeze, sun barely up, and our instructor Ahmed already checking the tanks by the dive shop. He’s been guiding here for years and knows every corner of these waters. We started with a quick chat about what to expect: gas supply checks, how to spot narcosis (it creeps up on you if you’re not careful), and why buddy signals matter even more when you’re down past 20 meters.
The first dive was out by Martini Rock. It’s quiet down there—just your own bubbles and the hum from someone’s computer beeping softly. Ahmed kept close, showing us how to adjust buoyancy with tiny tweaks. At 30 meters, colors start fading; reds vanish first, so everything looks blue-grey unless you shine a torch. We practiced gas calculations on our slates—nothing fancy but it makes you feel like you’re really part of the team.
Lunch was simple—chicken wraps and cold water back on the boat. The second day felt easier; nerves settled, routines set in. By the last dive, I could tell I was using less air just by breathing slower. Ahmed pointed out a lionfish hiding near some old fishing line—easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. After surfacing, he signed our logbooks and explained how this PADI Deep Diver card lets us go as deep as 40 meters anywhere now, as long as we’ve got a buddy.
The course includes two dive trips over two days, with at least four training dives between 21m and 40m depth.
