The Good Stuff
Beginner support
Beginners were made comfortable from the start, with instructors taking extra time to explain skills and answer questions.
Fujairah package
One Fujairah package included equipment, tanks and transport, with pickup and drop-off at the guest’s accommodation.
Marine life
Divers reported seeing colourful fish, starfish, other unfamiliar creatures and even sharks at close range.
Course progress
A customer completed both open water and advanced training in under a month, with instructors checking comfort and skills.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm contact. Before paying or travelling, confirm that your dates and training request have been acknowledged, since one customer reported no reply by email or WhatsApp.
Start small. If you are new to diving, ask about the try diving session first; one first-timer used it as a route toward considering a full course.
Check inclusions. For a Fujairah booking, ask whether your package includes equipment, tanks and accommodation transfers, as one customer received all three.
Ask about children. Families can ask how first-time children are supported; a review describes a younger child having a positive first diving experience.

The Bottom Line
Drar Diving Center in Jumeirah Beach Residence is geared towards people who want to try scuba diving or work towards certification. Customers mention try-dive sessions, Open Water courses and Fujairah day trips, making it possible to start with an introduction or commit to structured training. The strongest pattern is patient, safety-conscious instruction for beginners.
Reviewers describe instructors taking extra time to explain breathing, equalising and practical skills, while one parent felt comfortable bringing a 10-year-old on a first dive. Another customer completed open water and advanced training in under a month, so the centre also suits divers looking to progress rather than simply book a one-off experience. Fujairah trips are a useful option to clarify when booking.
One review says the package included all equipment, tanks and transport, with pickup and drop-off at the accommodation. Underwater highlights included colourful fish, starfish and sharks. Music and snacks were also mentioned on one boat outing.
There is one important booking caution: a prospective customer reported receiving no response to an email and WhatsApp request about Advanced Open Water training. Confirm your dates, course level and inclusions before paying.
