Great dive center. Friendly staff and very helpful. Rates for dive are well priced. They offer pick service in Doha. Staff speaks English. The dive masters and instructors are top notch. Highly recommended

What an amazing experience. I did the PADI beginner open water course and it was so worth it. Diving takes you into another world where everything is new and exciting. The instructors were amazing and super informative. They make sure to take everything slow and if you feel uncomfortable they are not pushy about anything. Don’t let the price scare you, if you are thinking about taking this course then don’t wait, just do it! You will not regret it.

Best Dive Center in Qatar 🤩🤩 In terms of: - Professionalism - Courses - Membership Cost - Community and of course the team behind it Karim & Adriana. Go for it and you will never regret it 🤿

I have done Open Water with them and returned to do my Advanced. They are always professional and it is clear that they do it because they love diving and not just as a job. Thank you for the amazing experience

Great experience! It was my first time diving, Karim and the rest of the instructors were great, they explained everything very well and were attentive at all times. I enjoyed it very much, totally recommended. Thank you very much!

My son and I completed our PADI Rescue Diver course at Poseidon. Frankie was our instructor. She and the team were excellent - a great coach and facilitator. She really instilled in us both the skills and confidence to bring our training to life. A massive thanks to Frankie, Karim and the team!

I recently had the pleasure of taking my PADI Open Water course at Poseidon Dive Center (PDC) in Doha, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Under the expert guidance of two exceptional instructors, Frankie and Waleed, my journey into scuba diving was not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. Frankie and Waleed's professionalism and warm, friendly demeanor set the tone for the entire course. Their teaching methods were top-notch, making complex concepts easy to understand and practical skills a breeze to master. They fostered an environment that was not only conducive to learning but also made the experience feel like a friendly outing, for which I am grateful for. This is an important trait to have in a teacher, especially when you are embarking on a hobby where the skills you are learning can one day save your life, you will revert back to what they imparted on you. PDC has been in the business for over a decade, establishing itself as one if not the most best places to begin your path into the scuba world. They are both PADI and SSI certified and well known by the diving community in Doha, with some of their more veteran divers having contributed to the creation of some of the diving reefs here in Qatar. Their shop sells everything you'd want for a diving trip from masks/snorkels, fins, wetsuits and BCD's to more niche gear for hobbyists such as full face regulator masks and scooters. You can also find accessories and replacements parts for your gear or get your stuff serviced by them as they are also qualified to handle your equipment. For the duration of the course, the gear and tanks were provided to us If you're looking for a dive center in Qatar where you can build a solid foundation and gain confidence in scuba diving, look no further than Poseidon Dive Center. The exceptional instruction and the overall atmosphere at this center make it the ideal place for both beginners and experienced divers. I can't recommend it enough.

I am an 11yo and I did my junior open water diving course. My instructor was Frankie and she was very nice, friendly, supportive and considerative. I first had to do a pool dive at Hilton hotel and then me and my parents went to Sealine beach for the dives. They provided all the equipment so we didn't even have to rent or buy them! Qatar is the perfect place to dive for beginners as it is not too deep and has lots of slopes. 100% recommend Poseidon dive center. 👌 By Tanvi

Great experience with my PADI Open Water course. The instructors were friendly and professional. The online training was simple to use and made studying very streamlined. Once complete there was pool training at the Hilton hotel, followed by two days of diving at Sealine Beach. All required dive gear is provided. Instruction was easy to follow and was very enjoyable. Highly recommend learning to dive with the folks at Poseidon Dive Center.

Fantastic club to dive during your stay in Doha with a increíble group of divers, cool environment, people from all over the world, very supporting and patient instructors, and the most important a place to make good friends during your stay in Qatar. I just completed my rescue diving course with Poseidon, and before I did other courses as the Advanced Open Water with them. Hope to continue diving with you guys many times, and thanks for making me to have a lot of fun during my stay in Doha

I’m so happy that I chose Poseidon Dive Center for my family and me to start our diving adventures. We initially signed up in September 2022 but for many reasons didn’t manage to get the time off to start the course properly. Mohammad and the team never gave up on us though and were so friendly, patient and accommodating for the many months it took us to finally get the time off to dive. Despite our many cancellations and false starts, nothing was ever a problem. When we finally got going, the instruction was exceptional and the facilities and equipment first class. Eventually, we completed it in 3 days in the same week. Absolutely brilliant. This is THE place to learn to dive in Qatar. Thank you Poseidon!

Incredible experience! Getting my PADI dive certification has been a bucket list item for a very long time. Mohammad was a fantastic instructor. We had a great time and I felt confident he kept our safety at the forefront of the experience. I enjoyed it so much I have already signed up for my advanced open water :) Can't wait to get back out there.

I would give these thieves 0 stars if I could. They essentially stole 1,500 USD from me. Karim is a joke of a manager and cares nothing about customers. Do not sign up for their "dive club" as they will will tell you that your membership pays for the other people diving. I was there for a year when Covid-19 came in and they told me that they would not refund a year's worth of dive club membership when I was only able to dive 6 times prior to the Covid shutdown within Qatar. Upon telling them of my situation they refused to refund any of the dive club membership with the reasoning of: " some people dive more than others. Those that do not use their membership pay for those that show up more than expected." Terrible customer service. Stay away from their dive club membership at all cost. You would think they would take care of a "VIP dive club member." In addition to the dive club membership, I signed up for 2 different courses and they did not deliver on either one of them, except for taking my money for both of them without following through with either course. Go elsewhere for diving experiences if at all possible as Karim was very dismissive when approached with a very reasonable solution to this situation. Of note: I am a rescue diver and was looking at completing my dive master certification during my time here, but their experience changed that. Response to the Owner's reply on 13Sep2020: Did I sign an agreement, absolutely. I am not refuting that piece of fact. But there was also a global pandemic that did not allow your establishment to fullfil your side of the terms agreed upon. You can offer to extend the one year period but that does not work for my situation as I was only in Doha for a year and this was stated not only at the time of my membership agreement but at multiple times thereafter and understood by multiple staff members. I would like anyone reading this to be aware of doing business with your establishment that if things do not go exactly as planned that your establishment will not be willing to offer any flexibility that does not benefit your business. You can extend the membership timeframe out but that benefits you as those customers will continue to return and spend more money with you. But you are not willing to offer an olive branch when the situation does not lead to more money in your pockets, even when faced with a pandemic situation outside of either party's control as mentioned in your original response. This is very evident by the fact of you ensuring to bring up our membership contract multiple times throughout your response. A business with higher moral and ethical standards would have offered to do the right thing and make a customer whole from the unfortunate situation. Instead, I was met with resistance and quite honestly a terrible attitude by Karim when I came into the store to speak about the issue. I had multiple people with me that can attest as to how I was spoken to and I do not wish that upon any other customer and supposed "VIP club member." They may be fun people to dive with, but I am asking all to be aware of doing business with them when things do not fit their benefit.

This was my first experience with diving. I have a crazy busy schedule but they were able to facilitate my training and set me up for success in the course. They ensured to explain every single step and enforce all good habits and standards. Great knowledgeable team and dedicated to this job. I highly recommend this training team as they are knowledgeable, hard working, dedicated, and professionals.

If you looking for a dive family and a team to really help you reach your true potential as a diver then Poseidon should be your number 1 choice! I enjoy ever moment with the team and the fact that every time I dive with them I’m learning new things, even if it’s just a fun dive the instructors are observant and give you the feedback you need to improve your skills and have fun at the same time.

a nice dive shop and beautiful place

Best place to learn how to dive in qatar

Cool place and helpful staff

An absolutely fantastic course with Mohammed. We all had an amazing time and he was an extremely competent instructor. Could not be happier with the course material, execution, and friendliness of the staff. 100% would reccomend this dive shop for PADI Certifications.

Did my open water diver's course here, highly recommended it to anyone looking to do their qualification. Enthusiastic staff made it an amazing experience. I will definitely be returning when I visit Qatar again

Qatar, surrounded by water on three sides has inevitably made scuba diving an enormously-popular activity enjoyed by all ages. The warm, turquoise waters of the Gulf and with campaigns highlighting the country’s marine life make the location most sought-after recreational diving destination.

Karim and Daisy were wonderful! Our group originally signed up for our certification with another company and things fell through. Poseidon came to the rescue and made sure we got our certification in time for our trip. Daisy made sure we were safe in the water and was wonderful company for the 2 afternoons we were at Sea Line. There's little to see at the dive site, but there's not much that can be done about that.

This dive centre is spectacular. It teaches everything you need to know whilst making you feel safe and well looked after. The staff are also so so so lovely. My instructor (mohammed) is one of the coolest, funniest people I’ve ever met and makes me feel super welcome and happy during the course. They all make sure you fully understand everything and I couldn’t recommend it enough. I am now a fully qualified open water diver and I couldn’t have done it without all their help. Definitely should go and visit!

Amazing time trying diving for the first time today! Thanks again Ms. Adriana and Mr. Ehab :)

staff are very professional, helpful and kind. The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. I took the open sea course with them, and would definitely recommend them to any new divers.

Excellent dive shop. I went out and did a refresher dive with Mohammad. Very professional and safety conscious. We had a great dive and I decided to get my Advanced Open Water certification. Definitely looking forward to the next dive!

Got my scuba open water certification from Poseidon! The staff is very professional, fun and knowledgeable! Mohammed made sure our crew was comfortable and performing all relevant tasks well.

Absolutely 10/10 experience, equipment and enjoyment. Karim and Paulo were world class instructors that helped and explained every step of the way. For sure recommend to anyone who wants to learn about diving in the future.

Fantastic dive club. A very professionally run centre with extremely knowledgeable staff. After completing the open water certification as a complete novice, I have now completed the advanced open water course. The instructors make the diving experience enjoyable and relaxed whilst ensuring the students safety at all times. Great job and a big thank you to Mohammed and Karim for your expert tuition and continued mentoring, making it a truly enjoyable experience. Look forward to many more dives with you.

Fantastic Dive Centre , my wife did her Divemaster qualification with them and absolutely loved the set up here. We've been to a few dive centres around the world and can safely say Karim and Mohamed are great instructors.

An amazing experience for first time divers. They were able to accommodate our schedule and provided great instruction. Glad we choose Poseidon.

Poseidon is the best dive center in Qatar. I was able to complete several dive courses (Open water, Night Diving, Nitrox) with support of coaches Kareem and Mohammed. Recently I was able to introduce diving to my 11yr son and he was very well supported by Mohammed. My son is now very excited to take his next open water soon. Thanks again to Kareem and Mohammed for running such vibrant dive community in Qatar. Strongly recommend Poseidon for all beginners and experienced divers. Cheers.

Poseidon Dive Center is one of best diving centres in Doha. I highly recommend for someone want to be certified in scuba diving. The staff are friendly and have variety of courses to teach, the instructors can speak multiple languages. I have a good experience, Thank you very much,,
