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.
