It was a fairly difficult choice to choose the dive centre for the course, But choosing Nemo Diving centre Dubai was a great decision. Right from Day 1 all the instructors were very patient in making the course very comfortable and not rushing into finishing it, The knowledege of the instructors is commendable and they know what they are doing very well, Special mention to Kareem who is extremely patient and wants you to be perfect in what you do and will take an extra effort to make you better in your flaws. Lastly i would highly recommend Nemo for anyone who is looking to start Diving, this is the best place you can start in Dubai. Cant wait to explore more with Nemo, Cheers!
I recently completed my PADI Open Water certification at Nemo Diving Centre, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The instructors were not only highly professional but also infused the training with a sense of fun and adventure. Their patience was remarkable, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident underwater. I couldn't have asked for a better team to guide me through this journey. Nemo Diving Centre truly exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the underwater world.
Great adventure! That is where I start. Location: On Palm Jumeirah next to the pool of the Azure Residence. Easy to walk to from the Nakheel Mall. Price: Cheaper than in Italy. Their prices for the dives are listed on their website and they are accurate. Staff: GREAT!! While all were friendly and helpful, I would like to give a shout out to Karim, Amr, and as I spoke to them not to forget our first instructor Galil (spelling). Galil was extremely easy to learn from and gave very clear instructions. Karim was awesome and extremely friendly. Amr took me on my final two dives and in my opinion the most important ones especially with the controlled emergency ascent. All of the staff spoke english. While I am not sure how many languages each staff member speaks, Karim speaks Italian, English, Arabic, and he did speak some german and spanish. This being said, I am sure they can accomodate many different backgrounds to provide the best training and experience possible. Experience: As I am getting older, I figured it was a good time to get scuba certified. I am not afraid of much, but I have a healthy "respect" of being eaten by a shark lol. needless to say...... none appeared lol. I will say the water was not as clear as I was thinking it would be, but that is in part due to my kicking up dirt from the sea floor. had to learn breath control. I saw barracudas, a stone fish, angel fish, and a sting ray. The experience was awesome overall. My trip took place over 4 days (2-4 March and 8 March) Lessons Learned: BIG ONE!!!!! Dont touch the rocks or coral without gloves lol. nothing like a nice cut on your finger when you get out of the water and it burns lol. but not too bad. How you breath controls your bouyancy. took me all four days to figure that out even after being told. Recommendaion: I definitely recommend visiting the Nemo Dive Center. When I return to Dubai, I will make a visit there for another dive! Good luck to the whole team there! See you soon. Respectfully, Q
I got my open water certificate through Nemo Diving Center in Dubai, UAE. Highly recommend! Friendly, patient staff who take the course serious! I also just had a lot of fun :)
DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS - AVOID BOOKING! I have booked with Nemo Diving Center months ago and it VERY CLEARLY states a free cancellation policy. I have asked to cancel 4 times due to inability to travel/illness, they keep on avoiding the question until saying that they do not offer refunds even though this is promised when booking this course. Additionally, when asking about flying after diving, they are ignoring the safety policies in place to avoid catching DCS which is extremely concerning - why disregard safety measures being taught in the e-learning? I am currently getting my lawyer involved which is an absolute shame as this could have been avoided if they simply would have kept their word with the cancellation policy. Extremely disappointed, hope that they will come to their senses and just refund as they promised.
