Set on a coastal road about a mile south of George Town, this middle-bracket hotel — whose rooms are divided among a quintet of two-story outbuildings — is Grand Cayman’s “pearl in an oyster.” Accommodations are simple, no nonsense and very comfortable. This place is favored by divers and snorkelers, who appreciate spectacular shore diving and the extensive diving programs.

The premier diving and snorkeling center on Nassau is located in a quiet seaside village used in the 1996 feature film Flipper. Today, the set is a state-of-the-art dive center offering guests a variety of activities that explore southwest Nassau’s spectacular walls, reefs, wrecks and movie sites.

Planning a luxury dive charter? If so, make your next charter a 5-star experience! With so many dive trip and accommodation options to choose from, it makes sense to offer something unique. The Arenui Boutique Liveaboard offers incredible diving in arguably the world’s best dive location and a truly boutique setting to call home for the trip’s duration.

The Ocean Hunter vessels are Palau’s most luxurious live-aboard fleet. Ocean Hunter III carries up to 19 divers in eight air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms and has the best ratio of boat space per diver.
