Divers Down

Divers Down was founded from a deep love for the underwater realm. Established in 2001 along the East Coast of the UAE, this centre quickly became renowned for its enjoyable and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the professionalism of its staff and instructors.

Divers Down relocated to larger premises at the Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort in 2004. This move enabled an expansion of the services and courses offered and, most importantly, access to more picturesque dive sites along the Indian Ocean coastline.
