All our pleasure diving is done from our East Coast center in the Miramar Hotel, Al Aqah where we offer 2 morning dives, an afternoon dive and a night dive (night dive minimum of 4 divers). You want to be at the diving center between 45 to 60 minutes before your first dive so you get enough time for paper work, kitting and dive briefing which takes place on land 20 minutes before the dive time. Please note we are unable to hold the boats if you are delayed. On weekdays, we offer 2 dives in the morning, departing at 9.30am and 1 dive in the afternoon departing at 3.30pm. On the weekend or public holiday, we have 3 dives scheduled as follows:
- 9am, 11 am, and 3pm: single tank dives, mainly dedicated to advanced level divers (deep dives)
- 9.30 am, 12.30 pm and 3.30 pm: single tank dives for open water divers, dedicated to local dive sites
- 10 am for a two tank dive trip and 3.30 pm for a single tank dive. The two tank dive trip is mostly in the Khorfakkan area and dedicated to any certification level

Rebreathers are intriguing. They’re cutting-edge dive technology. Always wanted to try one? The Discover Rebreather program lets you dive with a recreational rebreather or a technical closed circuit rebreather (CCR) in controlled conditions with a PADI Rebreather Instructor or Tec CCR Instructor. You'll discover how quiet diving can be without bubbles and quickly learn how different buoyancy control is. A Discover Rebreather experience is an ideal opportunity to give rebreathers a try before you sign up for a full course. Or, if you’re already a rebreather diver, you can participate in the program to try a new or different type of rebreather. Prerequisites:
- Be a PADI Open Water Diver (or equivalent)
- Have a minimum of 15 logged dives
- Are at least 18 years old

As a TDI CCR Air Diluent Decompression or Helitrox Diluent Decompression Diver, the TDI Mixed Gas CCR Diver course is your next step into closed circuit rebreather diving, it is your opportunity to explore a little deeper. Using the latest in technology CCR’s maximize your gas supply and provide the optimum breathing gas for any depth by maintaining a constant partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2). During the dives your TDI Instructor will teach you all the necessary skills to conduct CCR dives utilizing helium as a diluent gas and oxygen levels as low as 16 percent to a maximum depth of 60 metres/200 feet.
Course prerequisites:
- Minimum age 18
- Provide a verified log of a minimum of 50 rebreather hours distributed over a minimum of 50 dives on the specific rebreather. If the diver has 50 hours on another CCR unit recognized by TDI, only 25 hours are required to be on the specific unit
- Have completed and qualified the TDI Air Diluent Decompression Procedures Rebreather/TDI CCR Helitrox Diluent Decompression Procedures Diver course or equivalent from agencies recognized by TDI
