Your dive base

Based at Blue Bahia Resort — dive, eat, sleep, one spot

It doesn’t end at the reef. Based in the Blue Bahia Resort, it’s a great location and dive base — coming alone, with family or with friends, it’s the perfect relaxed environment. It’s vacation time, which means relaxation, slowing down, and getting on island time.

Roll out of bed, onto the dock

The boat, your room, the pool and The Beach Grill are all steps apart at Blue Bahia Resort.

Real Caribbean vibe

Social possibilities to share your dive stories poolside, or come purely to relax — either way, it’s island time.

Open-air dining, sea views

The Beach Grill, the resort’s on-site restaurant, offers sea views and a cool breeze for comfortable open-air dining.

Sunset, cocktail, repeat

Tip of the day: a sweet cocktail and a perfect sunset. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed.

“Great experience from beginning until the end! The owners, staff and instructor were all very kind and extremely supportive. This was my first time diving so I decided to get my open water certification at Sandy Bay Divers, and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about it. A very safe, professional and fun environment to experience the underwater world.”
