Overall Rating

The Sandals Royal Caribbean is a charming self-contained all inclusive
resort. There are five restaurants serving very good food and multiple
pools (some with swim-up bars) on the manicured property. Trips to other
island attractions are available for an additional fee. There was evening
entertainment ranging from very good to fair depending on the night.
Reading previous Travelin' Diver's Chapbooks gave an accurate picture of
the diving experience. If you have not been diving in the past six months
you will have to take a pool refresher course. Diving took place off a
beautiful 46 ft. dive boat. Some of the trips had over 20 people on the
boat, but dives took place with groups of four divers.  The divemasters
were competent, but not particularly helpful. Dive profiles were
conservative, often surfacing with 1000 psi left in the tank. There was no
shore diving at the resort. Over five days of diving no large schools of
fish were seen. Individual sightings included two turtles, several sea
cucumbers, flounder, star fish, puffer fish, french grunts, and a small
sting ray. A wall dive and an old DC-3 airplane added some diving interest.
The Sandals Royal Caribbean provides a nice vacation destination, but
experienced divers will become a bit bored with the diving.
