The Top Sandals Resorts & Destinations for the Ideal Scuba Diving Vacation

Deep breathing really is the key to living. Peaceful living, that is. What better place to test this out than in the deep sea with some scuba diving equipment where you can be amazed by magical underwater views as well? The Caribbean is a great place for this kind of adventure, especially for couples. For a scuba diving vacation that's both exhilarating and romantic, you might want to spend some time at one of the Sandals all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean that include scuba diving as part of their offerings.

There are a number of Sandals Resorts sprinkled throughout the Caribbean. For the purposes of this post, we've compiled a list of five of the best Sandals Resorts for couples who love scuba diving. We've also included some of the dive sites you might want to explore during your vacation.


Best Sandals Resorts for scuba diving

Scuba diving is one of the most popular activities for guests traveling to the Caribbean. Guests of Sandals can really take advantage of this as Sandals Resorts offer free scuba diving trips as part of your stay. All you'll need to get going on your scuba adventure with Sandals Resorts is PADI certification or an on-resort introductory diving certification. Once that's out of the way, you can enjoy free dives at this resort including professional equipment! Each guest can get a maximum of two tanks a day, depending on availability and the weather.

If you are not PADI certified, you can get your introductory diving certification through your Sandals Resort at an additional cost. This can take as little as 48 hours -- or less if you get started ahead of your vacation. Sandals has scuba staff that has certified over 100,000 guests. With top-of-the-line and well-maintained equipment, you'll be scuba diving fearlessly in no time!

And without further ado...

If you're wondering which are the best Sandals resorts for scuba diving, you might want to look in the direction of Sandals Royal Bahamian, Sandals Grenada, Sandals Royal Curacao, and the Sandals resorts in Saint Lucia, and Barbados.

Looking for Sandals Resorts travel agents? We offer the best prices and packages, including airfare to and from destination, airport transfers, excursions and activities, travel insurance and so much more.

1. Sandals Royal Bahamian in The Bahamas

Let's start with The Bahamas. This tropical archipelago is well known for its incredible diving. Sandals Royal Bahamian in Nassau is often referred to as the best Sandals Resort for scuba diving. If you set up a dive trip from this resort, you stand a chance of getting up close to all kinds of marine life. The diving experience in The Bahamas is 'out of this world' with an abundance of reefs and incredible sea life. Expect to see everything from tropical fish and sea turtles to stingrays, moray eels, crabs, and nurse sharks.

The Bahamas Thunderball Grotto

One of the best places to dive in The Bahamas is at Thunderball Grotto. The famous James Bond 007 reefs are located here and can be the highlight of your vacation. The popular James Bond films 'Thunder Ball' & 'Never Say Never' were both filmed at this location. If you dive here, you'll be able to see the Vulcan Bomber prop that is now covered with soft corals including sponges, gorgonians, sea rods, sea wipes, plum worms, and arrow crabs. Blue and midnight parrot fish are commonly spotted here.

While in The Bahamas, Hollywood Bowl is another famous dive location you might want to see. This is one of the listed dive sites available to guests of Sandals Resorts in Nassau. Sightings include Bermuda chub, sergeant majors, blue tang, balloo, and more. While in The Bahamas, you might also want to dive at Fish Hotel. The name of this dive site speaks for itself and you can expect to see juvenile blue-striped and French grunts, yellow goatfish, Bermuda chub, and more.

Expert tip: There are lots of other awesome locations you can check out while scuba diving in The Bahamas. Many of them can be accessed from Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma as well.


2. Sandals Royal Curacao

Sandals Royal Curacao is one of the newest Sandals Resorts on the block. Set in beautiful Curacao, this is an absolutely perfect place for the scuba diving couple. Curacao is part of the ABC island chain along with Aruba and Bonaire. These islands have an exotic appeal to them that extends to diving.

Sandals Curacao Padi Scuba Coral

Your dive trip in Curacao will undoubtedly be memorable. Some of the best places to go scuba diving in Curacao include Watamula, which is Dutch for 'water mill'. Two currents meet here so you can see a diverse mix of marine life including sea turtles. There's a variety of soft and hard coral at this dive site and you might particularly enjoy scoping the gorgonian sea fans. Watamula is loved by divers who want to drift dive as the currents are conducive for this.

While vacationing at Sandals Royal Curacao, you might also want to check out the Superior Producer dive site which is the best wreck dive in the Caribbean. The sunken cargo ship at this location dates back to 1977. During a dive here, you can expect to see a range of marine life circling the wreck. The best dive spots in Curacao wholly depend on what you're hoping to see more of. Reefs or wrecks? Take your pick or find a well-balanced mix of both!

Expert tip: There are lots of things that Curacao is known for - great dive sites are one of them! Other great places to go scuba diving in Curacao include Alice in Wonderland, the Mushroom Forest, and the Tugboat.


3. Sandals Grenada

Grenada is known as the wreck diving capital of the Caribbean. Interestingly, many of these are genuine wrecks and not boats that were sunk for the purpose of becoming artificial reefs. This fact alone can make scuba diving on this island extra exciting. Around Grenada and Carriacou, you'll find a number of shipwrecks including the Mighty Bianca C. This is a 590-ft long, 18,000-ton Italian liner that sunk off the coast of Grenada in 1961.

Aside from the wrecks that have evolved over time into thriving artificial reefs teeming with marine life, there are lots of other reasons to go scuba diving in Grenada. One of these is to explore the world's first Underwater Sculpture Park. While diving here, you can scope sculptures of all kinds and admire the marine life as well. If you go scuba diving in Grenada, you might see turtles, octopuses, nurse sharks, barracuda, and lots more.

From Sandals Resorts, you can also explore reefs like Purple Rain. This is considered to be one of the healthiest reefs in Grenada. The reef gets its name from the purple creole wrasse that appear to be literally raining down on the reef. Other sightings here include scrawled filefish, black durgon, and vibrant corals in hues of yellow, purple, and orange, as well as coral whips and deep-water gorgonians.

4. The Sandals Resorts in Saint Lucia

Lush and mountainous, Saint Lucia's beauty extends beneath the ocean. Underwater explorers can expect to see lots of sea creatures off the coasts of this island. Sightings can include eels, sea snakes, lobsters, crabs, octopuses, and tropical fishes of all kinds.

Some of the best scuba diving sites in Saint Lucia include Fairyland (lots of sponges and sea turtles) near Anse Chastanet and Keyhole Pinnacle. Keyhole Pinnacle stands out because of its four volcanic peaks that rise almost to the surface. At the tops of these, you'll see black and orange gorgonians that are home to trumpet fish, filefish, and more. Grouper, jack, snapper, and even seahorses are also frequently spotted here. Both of these dive sites are suitable for more advanced divers.

Novice divers might enjoy the Anse Cochon North and South Reef. Sightings here can include spotted drums, goatfish, parrot fish, yellow snappers, grunts, damsel fish, Chromis, and wrasse. The maximum depth of this reef is 40ft. These dive sites and a range of others including the Anse Chastanet Reef are accessible from Sandals Resorts in Saint Lucia.

Expert tip: Want to dive as much as possible during your island getaway? Guests of Sandals Grande St. Lucian, Sandals Regency La Toc, and Sandals Halcyon Beach can enjoy free snorkeling and scuba diving (up to 2 tanks a day). All you'll need to do is book your excursion and the boat crew will take you to the best spots!


5. The Sandals Resorts in Barbados

Barbados is one of those islands where you'll probably want to spend as much time as possible outside admiring the natural beauty and basking in the sunshine. For a scuba diving vacation, Sandals Resorts in Barbados are ideal. These resorts make it possible for scuba divers to have a truly amazing experience exploring shipwrecks and getting better acquainted with the marine life of the islands.

Easy, relaxed, and fun are some of the words you'll probably use to describe your dive experience on this island. While scuba diving in Barbados, you'll truly feel as though you're in a whole new world. Diving here will be a blast whether you're new to scuba or you've got plenty of dives under your belt.

Barbados is great for a couples dive trip and during this experience, you can expect to spot a variety of marine life including turtles, octopuses, sea horses, batfish, eels, porcupine fish, and more. Carlisle Bay is one of the best places to dive in Barbados. There are quite a few wreck dive locations in this area that can be explored during a scuba excursion. Some of these wrecks include the Berwyn, Ce-Trek, Eillon, Cornwallis, and the Barge. Notably, the Cornwallis was sunk by a torpedo during World War II. When you set up a dive trip from Sandals Resorts, you can easily check out some of these wreck locations.

Expert tip: When planning your awesome scuba diving couples vacation in Barbados, you'll have two Sandals Resorts to choose from - Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados. Staying at either resort will give you access to gourmet restaurants, pools, and unlimited cocktails at the other property!


Sandals Resorts are ideal for a dive vacation

Scuba diving in the Caribbean is an exciting experience. We attribute this to the region's healthy, life-giving reefs. From the vantage point of a dive resort like Sandals Resorts, scuba diving is sure to impress.

Sandals Curacao Padi Scuba Boat Wreck

At all Sandals Resorts, you can expect to have a great scuba diving experience. The resorts listed above are the favorites amongst guests, but no matter which of these you choose to stay at, you can enjoy a fun and luxurious vacation filled with quality inclusions that will set your mind at ease.

Some of our destination weddings

Kate and Curtis - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding

I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!

Michael and Shawana Rowles - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding

Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.

Julie and Chieu Vu - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding

Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!

From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!

destination wedding travel agent Cancun
Alison & Alex K. - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding

Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!

Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!

Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥️♥️

Leah and Kell Flynn - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding

My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.

Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.

Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!

The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.

Puerto Vallarta wedding travel agent
Darby Brown - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding

I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again, Darby Brown

Juliet D. - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding

Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason

Jodie Yu - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding

We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!

SECRETS PLAYA MUJERES destination wedding review
Vivian and James Chevrier - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding

I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.

As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.

Mark & Casey Shelley - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
UNICO 2087, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Jenni Johnson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!

Sara Thompson - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.

Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!

Bridgette Cariker - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding

I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!

Saundra Ogden - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding

Our Dream Wedding!

Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.

We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!

Casey Morris - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.

Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding

My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding

"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"

The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.

Thank you again for all of your help!!!

Our Dream Wedding!

As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!

I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Marty Hill - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding

This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!

Tiffany Phillips - All Inclusive Beach Wedding
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything

And lots more!
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
