JEDDAH — If you're looking for an adventurous summer experience and want to explore a relish nature under the sea, then scuba-diving at Dive Arabia is the perfect summer destination for you.
Founded in 2010, Dive Arabia is a sports activities group in Jeddah dedicated for recreational diving courses in co-operation with Al-Sanbouk Diving Center, popularly known as the Hyper-Market for Diving with a massive variety of diving equipment.
To make your summer experience under the Red Sea memorable, Dive Arabia is offering exciting summer programs for scuba-diving, including first level open diving courses for beginners and special underwater excursion boat trips.
“Once the participant completes the introductory course, he/she will be professionally certified to dive all over the world,” said Tamer Kamal, founder of Dive Arabia and a professional scuba diving instructor who has trained and certified more than 500 divers.
The group also offers continuing education programs for certified divers such as deep diving, night diving, rescue diving courses and advanced open water diving. Another fun course that the center offers is “wreck diving” which trains divers in finding wrecked ships, airplanes and even automobiles underwater.
It arms them with skills of unlocking mysteries, knowledge and experience that allows them to see wrecked treasures that other divers may overlook, so you can dive deep down into the sea and find a box full of gold coins.
“These programs are very important because they not only help divers gain more experience but also train them how to stay safe during unforeseen circumstances,” said Kamel.
Keeping in mind importance of safety precautions in adventure sports, Dive Arabia also offers Emergency First Response training, which aims to increase safety awareness and decrease recovery time for treatment in case of emergencies or accidents.
The program is designed in simple curriculum with no minimum age requirement and consists of primary care such as CPR and First aid and secondary care, which includes injury and illness assessment, bandaging, splinting for dislocations and fractures.
What makes Dive Arabia different from other diving institutes is training under professional instructors with high level of experience who ensure considerations for safety and take extra efforts for adding fun element to the courses.
