Al Jazeera Diving & Swimming Centre - Fujairah
The team at Al Jazeera Diving & Swimming Centre are exactly what you want when you’re diving in Fujairah. They’re a well-established PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, and that experience shows in their smooth operations. We love that they really understand the local conditions, making their boat dives incredibly efficient – no faffing about before you hit the water. Fujairah’s diving, while not always topping the global charts, has a distinct charm, especially for those who appreciate wrecks and a more rugged reef scene. Al Jazeera’s crew know the *Inchcape 1* and *2* wrecks like the back of their hand, and they’ll get you there at the best times to avoid crowds. We'd suggest asking them about early morning dives on the *Inchcape 1*; the schools of snapper and barracuda are incredible then, often circling the mast. Visibility can be variable, sometimes dropping to 5-10 metres, but the sheer volume of fishlife on the wrecks makes up for it. They’re also great for newer divers looking to get their wreck specialty without intimidating conditions. For those looking to learn, their PADI courses are thorough, focused on building confident divers rather than just ticking boxes.
