DIVE INTO THE CARIBBEAN

Being underwater in the tropics is like an escape into the unknown—a chance to explore underwater marine life and color reefs. You can get an even deeper look into the clear-blue waterscape’s treasures, caverns, and shipwrecks with Sandals Resorts’ exclusive scuba diving program. Explore the amazing wonders of the Shallow Plane, the wreck dive of a Cessna 152 airplane; or The Catherine, the site of an artificial reef; along with many other fascinating sites where thrilling underwater adventures await!

Sandals Resorts includes the Caribbean’s most comprehensive resort diving program. Even if you’ve never dived before, a premium resort certification course will allow you to experience a whole new underwater world by the very next day. One can even create a bespoke scuba adventure with private dives or night dives.

 

IT’S AS EASY AS 1…2…3

If you’re new to diving or not certified, a 1-day resort certification course is available. Once passed, you are allowed one tank dive (of approx. 30ft) per day, which is good for one year at any Sandals or Beaches resort. PADI® courses, taught by some of the most accomplished instructors in the entire Caribbean, are also available.

Two dives per day are available to experienced, certified divers. Sandals offers some of the most exciting dive sites in the Caribbean, as well as top-of-the-line equipment, expert dive masters, and knowledgeable captains.
