Beaches Resorts watersports are some of the best that the Caribbean has to offer. Its clear, sparkling water always entices visitors to come to the Caribbean, and at Beaches Resorts, guests have a wide variety of ways to explore it:
- Scuba Diving -Beaches Resorts offers the most comprehensive scuba-diving program in the Caribbean at any family all inclusive resort. Guests are treated to guided scuba dives with top-of-the-line equipment at depths ranging from 30 to 90 feet.
