Greater Caribbean and BermudaBermuda, the Bahamas Islands and destinations in the Caribbean Sea, including Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao and the islands in the Eastern Caribbean Sea.
I'm interested in taking my family of four to the Caribbean for a diving vacation next Christmas. Except for myself, no one else in my family dives, but they would be interested in becoming certified, or at least doing some snorkelling. Anyone have any suitable recommendations for destinations/resorts?
Club Med on San Salvador Island, Bahamas.
Pricey at that time of the year but the best all inclusive dive destination.
They even have their own hyperbaric chamber.

If you are going over Christmas holidays anywhere in Caribbean, you need to make reservations now. Most places fill up very quickly for holidays, especially that one! Prices are much higher then too for that reason.
Weather can be iffy in the Caribbean in winter with "el norte" winds blowing out the diving sometimes for a day, other times for a week or more. The farther south you go the less likely this will happen.
I would recommend Grand Cayman and staying at the Ritz or Westin.
We loved Cayman 3 years ago, has been best vacation, and diving is awesome.
The cost was more than most places, everything seems more expensive.
