Scuba Diving

PADI-certified guests who meet age and medical requirements can enjoy complimentary diving at Beaches Resorts throughout their entire stay, except on their day of departure. Each day (with a max. of two tanks per day), guests can explore a range of sites with guided dives led by experienced staff. Equipment is also provided at no additional cost to you.

At Beaches Resorts, diving experiences come with top-notch, complimentary equipment in great condition. This includes premium brands like Luxfer or Catalina tanks, SCUBAPRO regulators, Deep Blue fins, silicone masks, snorkels, and weight belts. While dive suits are not mandatory, they're available for rent at an extra cost. Additionally, guests have the option to bring their own equipment for a more personalized diving experience.

At Beaches Resorts, families and kids who are not certified divers can become certified during their stay for an additional fee. The PADI certification course encompasses classes, reading materials, pool sessions, open water dives, and a test. Our professional dive staff is dedicated to guiding you through the process. Upon certification, you'll have the opportunity to dive freely for the remainder of your stay, with a limit of two tanks per day. It's important to note that PADI certifications obtained at Beaches Resorts are recognized and valid beyond our resort's boundaries.

At Beaches Resorts, families and kids can enjoy diving without hidden expenses. Certified divers have the opportunity to dive daily during their stay, up to a maximum of two tanks per day, subject to availability. While dive suits aren't required, they can be rented if desired. For certified divers who haven't recently dived, we recommend taking a brief Scuba Review course at an additional cost to refresh their knowledge and skills. New divers can also attain PADI certification at the resort for an extra fee. All necessary equipment is provided for your diving adventures!

Once medical prerequisites are satisfied, PADI-certified guests can arrange their dive excursions upon reaching the resort by visiting the dive shop. Scuba diving courses can be booked online or through the dive shop. As availability can vary for scuba courses, it's advisable to secure these reservations in advance.

All Beaches resort properties offer scuba diving facilities, allowing adults and kids to explore exciting underwater adventures. All three resorts promise fantastic diving experiences, but enthusiasts particularly rave about the wide range of dive sites available from Beaches Turks & Caicos (20 in total). There are also 16 dive sites at  Beaches Negril and 14 dive sites at Beaches Ocho Rios for you to explore. 

At Beaches Resorts, we're thrilled to offer engaging opportunities for kids to discover the joy of scuba diving. The minimum age for scuba diving at Beaches is 10 years old, aligning with PADI’s age requirements and ensuring young adventurers can safely explore the wonders of the underwater world. Additionally, our PADI^® Bubblemaker Experience is specially designed for children aged 8 and up. This fantastic program introduces youngsters to the thrill of scuba diving in a pool setting with a maximum depth of 6 feet.
