Marine Reserve Scuba Dive: Certified & Discover Diving

Descend beneath Ocean Cay's protected reef on a guided scuba experience that reveals the full, three-dimensional splendour of one of the Bahamas' most carefully tended marine ecosystems. Whether you're certified or a first-timer, this is the deepest bucket-list moment on the island.

What to expect

Certified divers receive a full briefing and gear check before descending to the reserve's signature sites, where spotted eagle rays, Nassau grouper, and hawksbill turtles are frequently encountered. Discover Scuba participants complete a shallow-water skills review with their instructor before dropping to around 20 feet for an awe-inspiring first breath underwater. The 3- and 4-hour experiences include full equipment, a skilled guide, and time to surface and process the wonder before heading back to the island.
