Sports Travel: Scuba Diving in the Caribbean
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Scuba Diving

    At AKR you begin you SCUBA life by taking your first discover scuba class or if you are a certified (and we are all certifiable haha) diver already you can take a specialty class in Advanced open water, Rescue, Underwater photographer, night diver or one of any of the other classes offered by this 5 star PADI center.

    You can even do you IDC here if you want.

    And you can do it all at your own pace with great PADI instructors.

    Sports Travel: Wetsuits or skin and NO gloves
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Scuba Diving

    The water is so warm that you do not really need a wet suit but you should bring one just in case you get a bit chilled.

    No gloves are allowed as you should never touch the reef. Remember the reef is a living thing and the reef should be protected.

    Check the other tips for all of your diving needs.

    There are many dive shops on the island that can help you get into diving and once you do you will not want to do anything else.

    Equipment: You can rent gear there or bring your own.
    Some classes even provide you with everything you will need to enjoy the under water world.

    Sports Travel: More Scuba Diving
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Scuba Diving

    Scuba diving can be fun if you have a buddy to dive with. Dion is my dive buddy and best friend and if a very good diver so I never have to worry (much).

    Always plan your dives and stick to the dive plan.
