# 3-Day PADI Open Water Diving Course in Dubai

**Guidekin's take:** A full PADI Open Water certification, not a taster: theory online at home, then three practical sessions in Dubai, consecutive or split around your trip. All scuba gear including the suit is provided, but the e-learning module is bought separately; not for pregnant travellers or heart problems. 4.97 from 178 reviews at €321 per person for 72h.

In our comparison: #2 of 12 in Scuba Diving & Snorkeling, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
