      Buying scuba gears
      Best place to buy gears and they give top notch advisories on scuba gear maintenance. Everything you need in 1 place -- staff are very helpful.

      Great diving experience
      I had an amazing dive with Al Boom Diving. Before my arrival (as a solo traveller) they were fast and helpful in communication (by whatsapp). During the dive, the vibe was really relaxed and awesome. Rico was an amazing guide, also relaxed and helpful in giving some good technical tips (as I am a relatively new diver). Would definitely recommend them!

      Open Water diving Fujeirah
      First time diving with Al Boom , highly recommend. Was in Dubai for work and grabbed a weekend to come to Fujeirah for some diving. Great team, well organised with good quality gear . 3 dives with them for the day, thanks to Rico and Jemeul and the rest of the boat crew who did a great job looking after everyone. Dove at Sharm Rock & Snoopy which easy (eg not particularly deep) sites with plenty to see. They have 8 dive sites at various depths so something there for everyone. Big boat and not crowded made it a very relaxing day. They will pick you up from Dubai in the morning and take you back which will be a long day if you are doing 3 dives. I spent the weekend in Fujeirah instead which for me was the better option.

      Happy diving experience.
      First time diving with Al Boom but not my first diving experience in Fujairah. I am Adv Open Water qualified with Nitrox. Booked via Hani in 'The Address' hotel facility. Collected on time, very enjoyable experience with their whole team. Excellent couple of trips with Rico and then Yousef. Both excellent guys. Settled up with Hani when it was all done and had a really nice chat with him too before I left. Great bunch. Would recommend and will use again

      The best in the business!
      Fantastic service and outstanding instructing by Rico - a stalwart of the diving community. The team are friendly and professional and we highly recommend them after several dives with Al Boom in both Dubai and Fujairah.

      Dive here if you want to see fish!
      Got picked up in Dubai from the shop. Victor and Jojo were very friendly and courteous. Connect w/ you driver since it is 2 hours to Fujairah, The van had plenty of room and the scenory is interesting if it is your first time out of Dubai. The East side is very different than the West. Dive Master Rico is experienced and friendly. They provided all the gear and it was all in great condition. We dove 2 sites. Both were similar and different. Saw a small reef shark in the distance at Dibb al Roc, among plenty of other fish, all in shallow 12-18 meter deep water. The other location was on the other side of the resort. Turtles, Broom fish, a crab and several large eels were among the memorable animals seen. Again, not too deep, so good light. Visibility was decent at about 8 meters. The waves were fairly flat and the water was warm enough for a Shorty. Overall, a dive I would do again! Sleep on the drive back and enjoy another evening in Dubai

      One of the Best Diving Centers in UAE
      One of the best in UAE. I frequently dive with them. They are professional and friendly. Nitrox is free. They use good equipment - mostly Aqualung. Boats are wide and not overcrowded.

      Excellent service. The company offered reliable transportation from Dubai to Fujairah, where divers could find a great infrastructure for diving. Boats were safe on my trip, and dive master was friendly.

      Learn to Dive - Al Boom
      So we set off to Fujairah for the weekend for my daughter’s birthday. While at the resort, I booked myself and my daughter to do an Open Water dive course at Al Boom. We were accommodated right away and RICO our instructor took great care of us. I would definitely recommend them openly to anyone looking to lear to dive.

      Best Diving Activity in the World
      Had the most incredible experience with Al Boom Diving at the Dubai Mail Aquarium for their Shark Dive for certified divers. It was honestly one of the greatest things I have ever done - having scuba dived around the world this really was one of the best dives! Ahmed my guide was very professional, kind and an excellent guide around the massive tank! The equipment was very high quality and kept to a high standard. Clean and well provided facilities. From entering to leaving was well looked after. The experience itself was out of this world - even the tank alone was impressive - but the marine life and sharks they have are close, personal and exciting. Compared to other activities in Dubai this is definitely the best priced activity - the value for money was incredible. Having dived at Deep Dive Dubai last year and coming away dissatisfied- this really has wowed me. I will be booking again for this trip and will return each visit to the UAE. Thank you Al Boom for a wonderful experience!

      Excellent diving, organised and comfortable.
      As a new diver, I feel so comfortable and safe every time I dive with al Boom. The team are super sweet and fun taking you to the spots where you can see the most marine life. I highly recommend using them for any PADI course as well.

      Great day diving in Fujairah
      We were happy to be able to dive with Al Boom again in Fujairah. We both got our open water certification with them several years before and had a great experience this trip with Yousef in Fujairah. We had a clear weather day in December and started our first dive at dibba rock and had a nice dive, but the visibility wasn’t the best. Our DM Yousef suggested we move to a second dive site for our second dive and that was a great call. We had a great second dive with sea turtles, lots of active fish etc. thanks to the Al Book team, looking forward to next time.

      Be well informed
      It was a great experience and I decided to go through the PADI at same occasion with them because you have a discount. But you will not have the certification for 18m only 12m with scuba so it’s half finished but for the price of a full certification the return of investment is not good if I knew I will not pass it here. Despite that it’s a wonderful dive

      Great experience and highly recommend
      Yousef is an excellent, calm and patient, trainer - if your a little nervous... strongly suggest doing the course with him. Bong also very good. All the team are friendly and helpful. Also has a good Dive Shop if you are wanting to buy equipment.

    I would rate my overall experience ie right from learning to the actual dive as good and not the best because I had 2 different divemasters, the initial experience was not that great, my first 2 sessions which was the confined water session conducted by one of the dive masters who was a very rude guy who lacked patience. Since this was my first time learning the skills he was really impatient with me and I was almost about to quit but I am glad i did not.
    But the other 2 sessions were with Niko, he is an awesome mentor someone who always encouraged me and taught me very calmly and I was able to enjoy the rest of my sessions. Even if I made mistakes he was there to guide me calmly and made sure I understood.

    My final pleasure dive in Fujairah was a delightful experience.
