This unique diving facility opened in 1990 and it recently had the addition of its own Coral Bay hotel which opened in late 2004. The Royal Diving Club is an excellent training facility in a perfect situation at the water's edge with a home reef right on its threshold! The Royal Diving Club is a purpose built complex with a private jetty, compressor room, equipment storage, lecture rooms, café, and large swimming pool with sunbathing area. You will be collected from your hotel each morning by the dive centre transport or can choose to stay on site at their new hotel.
As well as the home reef area immediately in front of the Royal Diving Club, there is an extensive and prolific reef stretching along the coastline on either side. Dive sites can be accessed by boat or from the shore.
