A family-friendly dive resort allows you to bring children on your trip. Maduro Dive is a wholesale dive travel agency that helps you plan your dive trips, offering custom or pre-made packages. Here is more information on finding top dive resorts for families:
Suitable Travel Accommodations
When finding a dive resort for a family vacation, look for accommodations that offer more space to fit multiple people. Choose a large range of family accommodations, including condos, apartments, villas, and houses. Captain Don’s Habitat in Bonaire offers one- to two-bedroom bungalows and suites as well as three-bedroom villas. Buddy Dive Resort provides one- to three-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, living areas, and bathrooms. This makes it easier to prepare snacks or meals for the family before or after dive trips and provides a private space to relax.
For family reunions, you can book a stay at Anthony’s Key Resort. This resort offers wooden cabanas for guests to stay directly on the hillside or water’s edge, and the entire resort is able to fit 120 guests. The Maduro Dive team will help you find resorts that fit your family’s preferences, have the needed space for the number of people you are bringing, and book competitive airfare to all destinations.
Varied Dive Experiences
When planning your dive trip, look for destinations and resorts that offer sites for different experience levels, including beginners. The waters in Bonaire, Belize, and Grand Cayman can have a visibility of over 100 feet. Our dive travel specialists at Maduro Dive are experienced divers who are able to help you plan trips that accommodate your family’s experience levels. Resort options for families with both beginning and advanced divers include:
- Wyndham Reef Resort Grand Cayman: This resort is near the USS Kittiwake, which is a U.S. Navy ship that is only 15 feet below the surface, offering a wreck dive experience for new divers. More experienced divers can travel to Club Hole and Cinderella’s Castle to see arches, pinnacles, and other formations.
- Buddy Dive Resort: The Alice in Wonderland site is an easier dive and allows divers to see different fish species. Other dive sites include the Hilma Hooker wreck, which is appropriate for more advanced wreck divers.
- Captain Don’s Habitat: Bonaire offers shore diving with no currents. The resort’s “total freedom” concept offers 24/7 diving, and there are nearby sites for beginning and experienced divers.
Introductory Dive Training and Camps
Some resorts offer introductory dive training, making these spaces appropriate for families with new divers. Wyndham Reef Resort Grand Cayman offers an on-site training center with free try-dives, and Anthony’s Key Resort offers certification for children. Anthony’s Key Resort also provides opportunities for children and adults to interact with dolphins; the summer camp is available for five to 14-year-olds, and adults can join naturalists to swim with the dolphins. All-inclusive resorts offer multiple activities and have supervised children programs, which also allows other diver family members to enjoy underwater experiences.
