For guests who are not certified or would like to scuba for the first time, we offer a resort course (a fee of US$70.00 applies to guests who require the resort course). To qualify you must pass a water skill check, meet medical requirements and fill out a liability release. After completing the course, guests will be allowed one tank dive (of approx. 30ft) per day (subject to availability and weather conditions). The resort course is valid for one year at any Sandals or Beaches Resorts.

Whether you are a certified diver or not, you must meet medical requirements before diving. Please review the form below. If you have a medical condition that is outlined on the form, you must have a doctor sign off on it and bring it to the resort. However, the dive instructors at our resorts have the final approval on whether or not a guest is considered fit to dive.

Certified divers are allowed one two-tank dive or two single dives a day. There's no diving on day of departure. All our dives range from 20 to 90 feet.

If you are a certified diver and the instructor feels you need to take a refresher course, there will be an additional $70.00 per person for the 1.5 hour course. As per PADI standards this will allow you to dive as a certified diver. Remember to bring your dive log and certification card.
