am a top tier cruiser on Royal & Celeberty. Seems they have issues with diving, liability, so most of the islands they go to now they do not offer diving. I an heading to ABC islands in November on Beyond and there is no dive opportunities. I am booking my own through dive operators I have used or heard about in the past. It is sad but a reality in todays market.
Which ABC Beyond sailing are you on? We are on the 9 night leaving on the 13th, and have dives booked in every port.

Grand Cayman - booked through ship
Aruba - booked through ship (trying to fill a boat with a local op)
Curacao - booked with Caribbean Sea Sports
Bonaire - booked with VIP Diving

If you're on the same sailing, send me a DM and maybe we can add you to our group!
 
So frustrating!

I take like 12 cruises a year - I dive on all of them since getting certified. Well im booked for one leaving 8/3 for 9 nights that stops in Bermuda and Nassau along with CoCo Cay 0 and it looks like I really can't dive at any port except coco cays sad little excuse of a one tank dive.

We're in Bermuda for a whole 24 hours - 1PM to 1PM 0 so too late for afternoon dives on day 1 and leaving too early for morning dives day 2. NO dive shops offer a one tank dive, or an earlier dive or later dive either day to accommodate the ship - I've messaged like every dive shop.

In Nassau -same thing. 10a-6p. Only dive op I can find is Stuart Cove so I guess they monopolized the dive scene in Nassau. They also wont do a 1 tank afternoon or anything and say they take til 5 PM to get back to the docks. Keep in mind gangway goes up 30 mins before we leave so latest boarding is 5:30 in nassau and 12:30 in bermuda.

I've never been so pissed at itinerary times in my life lmao. Guess ill just sit on the beach like every other cruiser. So infuriating.

If anyone knows of anything i missed, please let me know. Im desperately trying to get under the water this trip.
