From PADI Scuba Diving in Montego Bay to SDI
Our Renown PADI Montego Bay Dive Offer Goes SDI!
20% ONLINE DISCOUNT in the best Scuba Diving in Montego Bay. Tropical bays are known for their great scuba diving, and Montego Bay is no exception, with dive spots that meet the expectations of novice and expert divers alike.
Whether you’re certified with PADI, SDI, SSI, NAUI, CMAS, or any other agency, you’ll enjoy world-class diving with Dressel Divers, as we have finally upgraded from being a mainly PADI Montego Bay scuba diving provider to SDI. Nothing has changed, only much improved.
For over three decades, we have offered overarching PADI Montego Bay diving and now, to stay ahead of the curve, we take it to the next wider level. Our years of experience offering PADI scuba diving in Montego Bay, has laid a solid foundation from which to push the envelope with our top-of-the-range new SDI diving approach.
Scuba diving along the coastline of Montego Bay is so intense that it will awaken your senses and leave you longing for the next dive.
The area’s abundant marine life and enviable visibility will have scuba divers wanting to jump in, again and again. The waters in front of the Dressel dive shop are fairly virgin when it comes to diving, which makes for unspoiled ocean bottoms with coral of surprisingly good quality. Above the water level, visitors will enjoy the hilly coast, dotted with plantations, which can be viewed from the dive boat.
Jamaica’s beaches and scuba diving were seemingly custom-made to ensure total relaxation. Like most tropical bays, Montego Bay is perfect for scuba diving. Moreover, certain areas considered a natural park are perfect sites for fish and divers to meet.
FREE NITROX!* With this destination being so popular, with divers doing multiple dives daily, we offer free nitrox to help keep them going.
*Free Nitrox is provided subject to in-house compressor capacity and operational status.
