AI that includes free diving??
« on: May 26, 2008, 08:22:03 AM »
I've heard rumours of All-inclusive resorts that include unlimite free diving, but i have yet to find such a place.  I know there are hotels in Honduras that focus on diving on include diving packages.  Someone told me there was a 5* in Turks and Caicos that included unlimited diving, but i can't find anything.  Anyone know?

Beaches/Sandals offer included Diving, in St Lucia it was a 2 tank dive included every day
Breezes I beleive offers diving included (curacao offered ulimited shore diving, but you have to pay for the boat dives, however there's lots of shore diving around the island, get a car, load up some tanks and off you go).

some places now offer packages that include diving as well in the diving hot spots, but check the pricing as you may be cheaper booking directly with the dive operator.

PRDO in cuba offers diving as part of the AI as well as Breezes Jibacoa
Karen and Marty can offer better insite into the PRDO as they just got back from there.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I just would like to know, as a newbie diver (did two dives at covarribuas, but didn't have enough$$ to get certification  :sad1:
but am wondering if the diving at Breezes and PRDO is free to divers who are certified only? And do any of these two (esp Breezes) shut down operations during the slow summer seasons?

Some of the superclubs offer "included diving".

Breezes Curacao has unlimited shore diving. 

The diving in Curacao is wonderful.

I'm not sure, but I thought I heard/read on one of the forums that Breezes Jibacoa doesn't offer diving included anymore
Again, I'm looking to Karen and Marty for advice on this one. Though I do recall that when they were there that it was non-stop red flag days and she said they hauled the dive gear down for nothing  :sad1:

We hauled all the dive gear to Jamaica and didn't even get the snorkel wet.  It was body slamming waves all day everyday except the wedding day.   :roleyes:

Sorry , not keeping up with the postings..
yes, PRDO is unlimited free diving to certified divers..
everyday if you want to..
Go straight to the animation club house and they call down to the dive shop for you.
Our tour rep tried to tell us it wasnt free and go through the tour company... this is NOT TRUE! We have found not only her, but most of the tour companies trying to mislead ppl into thinking they have to book solely through them.. they have become very competitive and sneaky about this...
Thank goodness, we know the ppl who work there, and found out the tactics that have sprung up over the last two yrs.
I don't care if they push their product, just don't lie, and give false information and use scare tactics, about the bad things that can go wrong if you don't book with them...
Turned me off totally!
Last trip was May/08 for two heavenly weeks.. and great diving.
great snorkelling as well..
