Is going to a dive resort the only way to have great diving?
No, there is an alternative to dive resorts. A travel club membership that entitles you to travel to luxury resorts throughout the world at the best dive destinations, 52 weeks a year and you don't have to worry about going during the low season for the best price.
I have been diving for over 40 years, I know what the costs are for scuba diving resorts, so if you love great scuba diving vacations you can have them without staying at dive resorts, use a travel club membership.
I am sure you are aware scuba diving resorts are always priced per person, this really increases the cost of your dive vacation.
Let me give you an example of some savings: scuba diving Ambergris Caye, Belize.
Ambergris Caye is 36 miles long, Ambergris Caye is the largest of the cayes in Belize. Located three-quarters of a mile west of the Belize Barrier Reef in the northern-most waters of the country, the island is surrounded by prominent snorkel and dive sites, including Shark Ray Alley and the Hol Chan Marine Reserve.
Average dive resorts pricing in Belize is $900 to $1300 plus tax per person for an 8 day 7 nights stay with 12 dives.
Two persons on the trip at dive resorts will cost you $1800 to $2600, this varies with the season.
Costa Maya Reef Resort Ambergris Caye, Belize is one of the Resorts available in this travel club membership.
Cost for 7 nights and 8 days is $699 and no tax for a 1 bedroom, add 12 dives at $405 per diver for a total of $1509 for 2 divers. Most of these 1 bedroom you can have 4 persons, further reducing your cost if there are more in your party. With 4 people it would be $580 per person. This is a great way to travel with the family or friends.
Total cost for 2 is $1510 or $755 per person anytime of the year.
Savings $290 to $1090.
Here is another example in Grand Cayman, I lived there for 4 years, I know this island well and it has great diving.
Average price for 7 nights and 8 days with a 6 day diving package at a dive resort is $1400 per person.
A 1 bedroom at Morritts Tortuga Club is $705 plus 6 days of diving at $1200 is $1905 or $952.50 per person.
Savings of $447.50 per person. You would save even more if there were more in your group.
Other advantages of the travel club membership are:
1. All resorts are 3 to 5 star.
2. All inclusive dive resorts are available.
3. There is a cap on the price that you can be charged of $799/week, NO per person charge.
4. No tax on the resort price.
5. You can get a 1, 2, or 3 bedroom at the same price based on availability.
6. Specials and hot weeks for $99 to $498.
7. Lifetime travel club membership that is transferable.
Usually these resorts offer many more amenities than dive resorts, this can be important if your travel companion is not a diver, nasty weather, sinus infection (clearing problem) or you want to take in some other adventures on your trip.
