Review of Fujairah’s beginner scuba and snorkeling trip from Dubai, with turtles, underwater photos, BBQ lunch, transfers, and coastal stops.
“Fahad (sorry about spelling!) was fantastic - he took the beginners divers, was very calm, reassuring and fun! My friend was terrified at the start and felt instantly safe. You go to different spots to both snorkel and dive and can swim through swarms of different fishes - we even seen turtles! Nice changing facilities, comfortable both and tasty lunch afterwards! Would definitely recommend diving here over in Dubai / Jumeriah! Driver was also amazing - really friendly and flexible. Because of Dubai traffic, pick up and drop off can be long but this can’t be helped. 5 ⭐️ stars, would recommend!”
