      Stress-free and enjoyable
      I came to Nemo Diving Center for my Scuba refresher. From start to finish, it was an enjoyable and stress-free experience. My instructor, Yahya, was extremely patient and ensured I was comfortable in the water.

      The Amaizing introduction to Diving
      I did open water diving in Nemo Diving centre, Amr and Karim were really good at explaining everything from pool dives to open water dives. I highly recommend Nemo for anyone who wants to have great learning experience with kind instructors. I also loved the prompt replies when contacted in their number.

      A fantastic experience.
      A great experience, very nice experience. I went for a beginner dive, i was instructed by Hassan, who is a fav person. Water was clear we could spot some schools of fish. 🐠 baby shark and squid. Given that its a 10m dive, was happy to see many fishes there.

      Lots of sea life with great people
      Awesome, Micky and his team were great and we got to see some amazing sea life including several sharks and turtles. The area is also very nice, with a great beach and mountains, plus you see the desert on route

      Check the waters before you board!
      Nemo diving center review I booked via booking.com for me and my son. It was a straight forward booking process and confirmation was sent through almost immediately. I didn’t receive finer details until very last minute however. The information asked us for our t shirt size and shoe size which I supplied. It also states to not bring plastic bottles so I rushed out to Dubai mall to buy a couple of water bottles. The confirmation text advised that we would be collected at 6:45am and I was really impressed when the driver pulled up outside the reception of our hotel at exactly 6:45am! Our driver was very polite and pleasant. We boarded the bus with three passengers already and we collected one person after me and my son and headed on our way. After one hour we stopped at a service station to use the lavatory and buy some breakfast refreshments etc. we arrived at our destination by about 9am and was instructed to fill in the waiver form and hand in passports. The staff sat at their desks didn’t make any effort whatsoever to even say hello to us so it felt very awkward and a cold reception. We gathered to check for flipper sizing and life jackets if we needed them (I did and thank god I did!) We then went to board the boat over very very sharp incoming shore waves! At this point I started to wonder if it’s this rough here how will it be further out. I struggled to even get onto the boat because of the crashing waves as we had to walk a bit out to get onto it. The shore line was unexpectedly rocky and if you are not careful you can badly injure yourself (as my son did!) I was kindly helped to the boat by the snorkel instructor who honestly did help me and my son loads throughout the short experience. Once on board we put on our gear and started our journey out to sea. It was rough! Really really rough. I recall even looking at my son thinking this boat should NOT be going out. We were really in the thick of the waves and a passenger in our group became immediately unwell and suffering from sea sickness. We reached our point of drop off and it was not easy! One of the group members asked for another size of snorkel but was promptly informed they have no additional equipment other than what’s given! It was very inconvenient. The rough sea was tossing us around like skittles and we had no control. Again our nice snorkel instructor tried his best to look after my son and I but he had to watch for everyone too. It was unfortunate that we were all gathered next to the boat by the ladder because my son was almost being taken under by the boat as the waves were pushing us against the boat and it was taking a while to push off. Once we got out and began snorkelling, we were put for about fifteen minutes of snorkel time and albeit me and my son absolutely did see some stunning fish and a turtle, due to the huge waves that were clogging our snorkels, we were facing major hardship in the waters! Again I reiterate our instructor really did his best to look after me and my son but it was NOT an enjoyable experience at all. He was very close to me so his flippers kept hitting my face and I had to use one hand to guard my face at all times. We rushed to the boat in an emergency as a passenger was on the verge of fainting and my son kept getting water logged in his snorkel because of the crashing huge forceful waves. We got to the boat and we all headed back to shore bar one other member of the group as she was scuba diving. The child of the other couple and my son were unwell so they lay on the sunbeds at the beach but were soon told to vacate the space by the lifeguard as it belonged to the resort hotel and not the diving center. The beach was absolutely empty. Not a soul bar us five waiting for the scuba passenger who was out at sea. I was astounded at the audacity! We were offered to go back out again on the boat but the sea became rougher and I couldn’t understand how the boat was still departing and also I couldn’t leave my son on his own despite knowing it would be a long wait at the shore before we should head back at 1pm! As the five of us recuperated, the frustrating part for us was the ZERO effort was made by ANY of the staff to recompense for the horrid experience we just encountered. We were left like dead cuttlefish just to wait. We asked if we can get back sooner but as we came as a group we had to return as a group. A taxi would have cost approximately 350 dhm to return if needed. I am surprised that NO contingency or ‘plan B’ is in place for any unforeseen circumstances?! No access to a dr or anyway of getting back to Dubai with having to fork out yourself?! Had the staff even come to sit with us or communicate or offered a drink it would have made a huge difference. By this point I wasn’t even bothered about the amount of money we spent on this excursion as the experience has surpassed the ridiculous checkpoint! My son went to find a shop or eatery to get some snacks and nothing was available. It was a ghost beach! Nothing and no one around. (Yet we weren’t allowed to lay on the sunbeds! Make it make sense please?!) The scuba diver returned by 12:45 and we set off back. No one from the centre came to see us or say goodbye. I am truly disappointed overall with the service of Nemo Diving Center and DO NOT recommend this agent to anyone. The unnecessary early start is unwarranted. I appreciate many will say of you leave later then you are in the peak heat for the snorkel etc but out at sea one the water is cooler and if you have the right gear it’s not too bad. But having been through this after waking at 5am is diabolical! As I mentioned earlier, we were asked for our t shirt size. We were NOT provided with a tshirt. The confirmation email stated you’d have access to unlimited drinks etc. We didn’t have any drinks. I’m sure they said it was on the boat but it was impossible to consume anything there. We were offered some apples and oranges when we were on our emergency return to help calm us all down after our rocky ride but it would have helped to have had that tray given to the kids that were unwell back at the beach but we didn’t see it again. I can’t believe I wasted a whole half day with the inconvenience of a silly o clock start, expensive ticket price and zero customer service received throughout the experience. Unfortunately Nemo Diving Center, it was a sinker!

      Happy Bubble
      I had an amazing experience with Nemo Scuba Diving in Fujairah! I did a 2 dive trip, and was lucky enough to have Mustafa as our dive master, Omar as snorkeling guide, and Zizou as the captain. The organization and ambiance were top-notch, from the reservation to the transportation from/to Dubai and the actual dive itself

      Great snorkeling experience
      The snorkeling trip was good, our family enjoyed a lot. My parents never snorkeled before but our captain was patient teaching them how to use the mask and snorkel and also lead them to find different marine animals. I have seen sea turtles, whales, manta rays during previous diving experience but this time I saw sharks! Really good experience!

    Brilliant diving centre. We did the beginner's experience and it was our first ever dive. The staff were brilliant at putting us at ease and at explaining everything we needed to know. It was clear we were going to go at our pace. When we were in the water, the instructor was amazing. He held on to us for most of the dive (as we wanted him to) and made us feel very safe. This allowed us to relax and focus on our breathing. He controlled everything else, pointed out things to us and took lots of photographs. It was such an amazing experience and we would definitely recommend these guys. They were also very flexible on timings as we were unable to make the date we had initially booked and then also had to change the time.

    To begin with, I thank Mofasa and his team for the entire thrilling experience. He initially briefed us about the gear that we used. Most importantly, he was very patient inspite of me not being able to fit the mouthpiece correctly in the initial phase. He made sure that I get it right and only then initiated the dive.

    The best part of this experience was that Mofasa ensured that I dived to a depth of close to 18 feet which was unbelievable for me as I had never done this before and it was such an amazing feeling to witness marine life at that depth.

    I would love to learn scuba diving from Mofasa and complete the PADI certification course.

    I would recommend first timers to explore and enjoy scuba diving from Nemo Diving Centre @ Dubai

    Hello, at the beginning we are à little bit afraid because it's our first time to practice diving...The instructor was very good with his briefing what to do and how to communicate under the water. We feel confident with him and globally with the team always there to help & support you.
    We will come back for the diving licence of my daughter

    Thanks to Hassan & the Team

    This experience was very nice and I will never forget it. I was lucky enough to be alone and therefore had a guide all to myself. He was very friendly and explained everything to me very well. And I always had faith that nothing would happen to me. Overall I would recommend this activity to anyone who wants to marvel at the underwater world.

    It was my first diving experience, I always dreamt about it and I was really lucky that I got such a good instructor as Careem. I can say only the best about him, he was on the same wave with me all the time, he gave very clear instructions and made it also very fun. So I experienced a lot of joy from my first diving experience.
