The staff members at Nemo were very friendly and welcoming. Being a traveller (from Australia), little things like hospitality and a small smile matters to me to make me feel comfortable. My trainer Abdel was patient and helped me how to better understand the skills I was doing. Nemo also accommodated my travel needs, allowing me to ensure I got my open water certification within a limited time I had.
Great course overall

My open water diving course was very good and I had a fun time learning all the skills needed at this level. The staff were really good, professional, and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn diving in Dubai.
Fantastic experience - Very professional diving team

Fantastic few days learning to dive with the Nemo Diving Centre with some very experienced instructors (especially Hasan) who were incredibly patient and attentive throughout.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills as the instructors focused on safety and made it a very comfortable and reassuring but fun few days.
I joined the course on my own and found others that were there by themselves, so great if you are travelling solo or with others. You very quickly become a close knit group as you have to buddy up throughout the course.
If anyone is thinking of completing the PADI open water diving course in Dubai I would highly recommend to is place.
Exceptional experienced

I was staying 4 days in Dubaï and decided to register to a PADI course.
The Nemo team has been very reactive and helpful to plan the dives prior to my arrival despite the constraints linked to the schedules flight.
Mostafa is an amazing instructor, professional, patient and careful. He supported me to gain confidence and adapted the various steps based on what I was comfortable doing. Perfect teaching method!
I was alone except on the first class which helps a lot to begin!
The other members of the team I met where all very nice and helpful.
Thanks again :)
I highly recommend this diving center!
