Scuba Diving on Sail Caribbean
Scuba diving in the Caribbean is adventure at its finest.
More than half of our students choose our teen scuba diving option as part of their summer camp program. You'll never forget the sensation of taking your first breath underwater, and more students are choosing to do just that on our programs every season.
"My favorite activity was diving. Everything about it is so amazing. Knowing that you have entered a world that some people go their whole life without seeing everyday is really awesome. One thing that made it so special was the dive staff, they were all so nice and helpful that you always were having fun."
Elyana Kadish, Croton on Hudson, NY, age 14

Our year-round, top-rated dive facility, Sail Caribbean Divers, is staffed with knowledgeable scuba professionals focused on providing premium dive education with a high staff-to-student ratio. The flexibility and depth of our dive team makes it possible for students to learn and progress comfortably at their own pace.
Our instructors have experience working with teens and are eager to share their enthusiasm for the underwater world. They are BVI residents with valuable expert knowledge of all the local dive sites. We use custom dive boats and well-maintained equipment which makes diving with Sail Caribbean comfortable and safe. Our instructor team is available 365 days a year which has enabled us to institute PADI’s Open Water online eLearning course. With eLearning students can take the non-diving portion of the course at home with support from our instructors when needed. This enables Open Water divers to spend more time in the water instead of in the “classroom” during their trip to our scuba diving camp.
