BEST DIVE EXPERIENCE IN DUBAI
My husband & I visited the Dubai Aquarium for the diving experience and I cannot stress enough on what an incredible experience it was!!! If you can, you must must must do it! We are both certified divers and go on dive trips often but never have we experienced (except for Maldives) SO MANY beautiful aquatic species including massive sharks, stingrays and soooo many more in such a short time frame and space. We are coming back FOR SURE!!! Our guide JP was amazing, in fact one of the reasons it was so fun is because of him!! He guided us so well during the experience and legit showed us the best bits!! What an experience, just wow!!
Operator response
Dear Candice,
Thank you so much for your amazing review!
We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband had such an incredible experience diving in the Aquarium. As experienced certified divers, it means a lot to us that you were impressed by the sheer abundance and variety of marine life. Being able to get so close to sharks, rays, and thousands of fish in such a unique environment really does make for a memorable dive.
We're especially pleased to hear that JP helped make the experience even more enjoyable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Our guides love showcasing the highlights of the Aquarium and creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.
Thank you for choosing Al Boom Diving. We can't wait to welcome you both back for another dive soon!
Kind Regards,
Colin and The Al Boom Diving Team

Discover Diving Class - Great Fun
I spent the day with Sarah and Marlon who helped me understand the basics in the pool and we then headed out to Jumeriah Beach to do an open water dive. They were both very helpful and made sure I was looked after. Their instructions were easy to follow and the equipment was really good. Everyone there was very friendly and I didn't feel out of my depth (excuse the pun) at any time.
Operator response

We’re really pleased to hear that Sagara and Marlon took good care of you throughout the pool session and your open water dive at Jumeirah Beach. It’s great to know you felt well supported, found the instructions easy to follow, and were comfortable with the equipment and overall experience.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this, and we look forward to seeing you back for your next dive.
