Diving
in the UAE offers great variation as have both the
Arabian Gulf and the Indian Ocean to dive in.
Through our four dive centers across the UAE & Oman,
Al Boom Diving offers daily dive trips on both
coasts, as well as trips to the Musandam peninsula.
 We
also offer transfers from Dubai to the East
Coast/Musandam for those staying in Dubai, but
wishing to explore the East Coast & Musandam.
Musandam Peninsula (Dibba)
Musandam is very isolated and sparsely populated and
the diving here is brilliant. Diving in Musandam
used to be associated with a lot of hassle; all
equipment had to be brought up from Dubai, permits
had to be obtained etc. Now, through our new dive
center in Dibba (located just 1 ½ hours drive from
Dubai), diving the Musandam has become very easy.
All you have to do is turn up and dive.
Musandam has sites suitable for all levels and an
abundant marine life. Dolphins, Sharks, large Rays,
colourful corals, large lobsters - even whale sharks
have been spotted here.
There is also a nice cavern dive and a few sites
with nice wall dives (+ off course numerous yet
undiscovered sites). Snorkelers and guests “coming
along to enjoy the scenery” are most welcome.
Musandam trips run daily. Weekends will mainly be
for divers - snorkelers and boat trippers may join
subject to space. A daily bus transfer from Dubai to
the port in Dibba is in operation. Please contact us
for further information.
Arabian Sea, UAE East Coast (Fujeirah/Khor Fakkan/Dibba)
The Arabian Sea is part of the Indian Ocean, and
this is where you find the colorful coral reefs
teeming with marine life. If lucky, you may come
across blacktips, moray eels, turtles, lionfish,
rays, cuttlefish, barracuda etc – you name it, we
got it (well, almost). The diving here is suitable
for all levels of divers and there are also sites
suitable for snorkeling.
Our dive center on the East Coast offers daily trips
to the sites off the East Coast. A bus transfer
service from Dubai to the East Coast is in
operation, leaving our dive center in Dubai 06.45 am
and returning around 17.00 hrs. Please contact us
for further information.
Arabian Gulf, UAE West Coast (Dubai)
Diving off Dubai is all wreck diving, with sites
ranging in depth from 10m to 80m. Some of the wrecks
have been put there to form artificial reefs,
whereas others went down due to bad weather or
marine accidents.
 Due
to the nature of the seabed in the Arabian Gulf
(which is mostly sand), the wrecks are gathering
spots for marine life such as large Barracuda, large
Rays, Dolphins, Turtles, Seasnakes, Batfish and, off
course, Arabian Angelfish.
Most sites are limited to divers with experience
beyond entry level, but we also offer Adventure
dives and Advanced training for Open Water Divers
wishing to do their first wreck.
Al Boom Diving Club generally run dives on the West
Coast Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and guest
divers are most welcome. Trips can also be arranged
on other days subject to a minimum number of divers.
The West Coast trips are for divers only. There are
no sites suitable for snorkelling and as for people
coming along for the boat trip, well, they tend to
get very seasick and hate every minute of it !!! But
serious divers tend to love diving here.
