How to Take an All-Inclusive Dive Vacation in Grand Bahama

The first thing you need to know is this: you’ll wake up steps from the sand. The second? You’ll be diving some of the best waters in the Caribbean before lunch.

This is Dive Week at Viva Fortuna Beach by Wyndham, the only all-inclusive resort on Grand Bahama Island with its very own full-service dive center. And if you’re a certified diver—or have ever dreamed of becoming one—this might be the most seamless way to turn your vacation into a full-blown underwater adventure.

Grand Bahama is known for its pristine reef systems, legendary visibility, and marine life that includes everything from reef sharks to eagle rays. But what makes Dive Week different is that it’s built for divers—by divers. You’re not squeezing in a couple of tanks between beach chairs. This is a weeklong rhythm of eat, dive, relax, repeat. And it’s glorious.

Here’s how it works: Choose from one of four 2025 Dive Week sessions—May 17-24, September 13-20, September 21-27, or November 8-15. From there, everything is taken care of. You’ll land at the airport, get picked up and delivered straight to the resort, and check into a Garden View room—just far enough from the action to sleep well, but close enough to hear the ocean when you wake up.

Then it’s time to dive.

Each package includes four days of boat diving—10 dives in total—with tanks, gear, and guidance from PADI-certified instructors who know these waters like locals know conch salad. You’ll visit vibrant coral gardens, sunken wrecks, and sites with names like Shark Junction and Theo’s Wreck, each with its own flavor and marine cast of characters.

Back on land, it’s full all-inclusive mode: open bars, beach loungers, buffet spreads, and a long list of water sports and activities that come standard. The vibe is easy, low-key, and welcoming—the kind of place where dive groups become friends and afternoons roll into rum-fueled dinners under the stars.

The idea, the company tells Caribbean Journal, is vacations that move you. Literally.

But you don’t have to be a pro athlete—or even a hardcore diver—to appreciate Dive Week. You just have to be someone who wants something a little more real, a little more connected, and a whole lot more fun.

Packages start at $1,305 per person, double occupancy. That gets you seven nights, 10 dives, all meals, drinks, activities, taxes, and transfers.
