The Dive Academy
The Dive Academy Dubai

The Dive Academy A training facility for new and experienced divers to enjoy learning SCUBA Diving in a controlled a safe environment. Specialized for children and adults that are interested in learning about SCUBA Diving (Open Water Courses) and continued education like marine life and conservation.

The idea behind The Dive Academy The UAE is a tourist destination with many hotels offering diving services to its international clientele. Also, the local diving community (consisting of expats) is abundant, with many Dive Shops and Dive Centers that offer training. These training and activities mainly happen in the weekend where time is always factor. Training is often rushed resulting in divers that still require a lot of attention after they are signed off for their courses. Although some individuals will choose to gain experience, finding new locations to dive, This often results in a stop of education. Furthermore so, divers are treated as customers and not members. They visit the shop, check in, do their dive and after that, leave. Although there is nothing wrong with this, we at the Dive Academy believe we can offer additional value since we treat all our divers as members, that are always welcome for training. The goal is to create and cater divers that have the same mindset and goal: To become confident autonomous divers and essentially ambassadors of the sea, in a member-oriented club setting that will create a welcoming atmosphere for all levels and ages.

The Dive Academy is a licensed SSI Training Center offering a wide range of SCUBA Courses from Beginner to Advanced Training. The founding partner, Paul Emous is a SSI Recreational and Technical Instructor Trainer, with over a decade of experience in running and training dive centers in both the Middle East and Europe.
