About This Collection
Planning the Perfect Dive Honeymoon
A great diving honeymoon balances time underwater with time together above it. The best destinations offer morning dives followed by lazy afternoons on the beach, sunset cocktails, and romantic dinners. Look for resorts with excellent house reefs - this allows spontaneous diving without rigid schedules, so you can dive when the mood strikes and relax when it does not.
Consider your partner's dive experience. If one of you is more experienced, choose a destination with diverse sites ranging from shallow reef dives to more advanced options. Many honeymoon destinations also offer Discover Scuba Diving experiences or Open Water courses, so a non-diving partner can learn in a beautiful, patient setting.
