National Aquarium Dive Day
I have dived with Al Mahara for many years and have always had positive experiences. Last week I joined them again after 20 months out of the water. I had to do a refresher and it all went very smoothly. A small group of us dived at the National Aquarium which was amazing and we got to feed a bunch of Cownose rays afterwards! Thank you so much Al Mahara for a wonderful day, for your care about marine life and divers' safety - and for your appreciation of my animal welfare work on my birthday! You made it special! See you again soon.

Brilliant Wreck Dives
I can never fault the professionalism of the staff, the ease of booking or the way each dive trip is managed. If you are looking for wreck diving this is the place, the only downside is the visibility but the amazing sight of the wreck appearing as you descend is worth it. A 5 star experience.

We loved diving with Al Mahara Diving…
We loved diving with Al Mahara Diving Center in Abu Dhabi. We made 6 dives in two days in Mussandam, Oman including Lima Rock, Octopus Rock, and Jassim Rock. We did two deep dives and an optional night dive. The water was warm and calm and the dive guides were outstanding. We saw lots of lionfish and eels, as well as some boxfish, stonefish, and cuttlefish. The night dive was especially amazing and full of sea life and the crew on the dhow were so helpful getting in and out of the water. One of the best trips I ever took!
