Frequently Asked Questions

You do need to complete a medical questionnaire. If you answer "yes" to certain questions you must get a doctors note and take it with you to the resort.  Ultimately, the dive instructors at Sandals & Beaches Resorts have the final approval on whether or not a guest is considered fit to dive.

We can assist you with options.
