The morning light slices the Caribbean, and surf whispers against the sand as divers kit up on Blue Bay’s beach. A PADI 5‑Star dive professional briefs the group, checks gear, and points toward the shallow slope that leads to two easily accessed house reefs. The Garden is a low, coral-studded playground; The Wall drops away in dramatic steps where schools of snapper and angelfish thread the blue.

Bring your certification card
