Yes! Certified divers only need proof of certification and your dives are all included. The resort accepts certification agencies such as NAUI, SSI, YMCA, BSAC, CMAS, and PADI.
You have to be certified to go SCUBA diving in Jamaica and there are some limitations. The resort offers a resort course that allows you go on some diving trips while you are there, or a full certification course that is good for life. Another option would be to take all or most of the certification course before you come (you can usually finish the diving portion of a PADI SCUBA course at the resort and take the classroom part stateside).
