The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is the most popular diver specialty course and the number of technical divers is on the rise, which means that lots of scuba divers want enriched air and gas blends.

Being the blender is a key job at a busy PADI Dive Centre or Resort and your work allows other divers to do what they love to do – scuba dive. Prerequisites

If you’re into technical diving then you know that to extend your depth range you need to use trimix – a blend of helium, oxygen and nitrogen. The Tec Trimix 65 course introduces you to using trimix down to a maximum depth of 65 metres/210 feet. There are advantages to using three gases, but you need to know how to do it right. Earning the Tec Trimix 65 certification makes deeper exploration a reality. Prerequisites

During the course, you’ll make dives as deep as 90 metres/300 feet, but once you earn this tough certification, there are few limits. Your training teaches you to build experience gradually and you do it because you’ve made it this far and have more exploring to do. Prerequisites:

Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.Prerequisites
- PADI Open Water Diver
- 10 years old

All our pleasure diving is done from our East Coast center in the Miramar Hotel, Al Aqah where we offer 2 morning dives, an afternoon dive and a night dive (night dive minimum of 4 divers). You want to be at the diving center between 45 to 60 minutes before your first dive so you get enough time for paper work, kitting and dive briefing which takes place on land 20 minutes before the dive time. Please note we are unable to hold the boats if you are delayed. On weekdays, we offer 2 dives in the morning, departing at 9.30am and 1 dive in the afternoon departing at 3.30pm. On the weekend or public holiday, we have 3 dives scheduled as follows:
- 9am, 11 am, and 3pm: single tank dives, mainly dedicated to advanced level divers (deep dives)
- 9.30 am, 12.30 pm and 3.30 pm: single tank dives for open water divers, dedicated to local dive sites
- 10 am for a two tank dive trip and 3.30 pm for a single tank dive. The two tank dive trip is mostly in the Khorfakkan area and dedicated to any certification level
