BE AD DIve Club
So now I am here has anything further happened regarding organising a dive trip in AD. Just interested in getting wet as it has been about 12 months since I last went diving.
I've been told there is a Dive shop and operator in the small marina at Al Bateen, I may pop over tomorrow to check it out. If anyone is interested in organising something soon then let me know.
Also interested in a fishing trip as well if anyone is up for it!

If you want to dive here then its really better heading up to Fujairah or Musandam.
we should try to get a group together up there for snorkelling and diving.

I will head up that way at some point, just waiting for my car to get delivered and am fully mobile (and have all my visas in place).
Just fancied a quick trip this weekend.

the vis is supposed to be awful in the Gulf due to all the construction.
could be a good idea though just to get back into it before going up to the Indian Ocean.
there are these guys in AD.

They also run courses in AD and can arrange a check dive.
Very little to see in Arabian gulf. Poor viz and limited marine life (very few reefs/walls - just wrecks) All decent diving is Musandam.

I was there last weekend, I saw them all - its brilliant, they have little reels, no rods, and when we came back that literally had a massive pile of them, I thought they must have been tuna as some were proper massive.
