We are scuba divers, and this is a shout-out to the Sandals Grenada Dive Team. Grenada is a great place to dive -- vibrant reefs, plenty of marine life and fascinating wrecks. The Sandals Grenada Dive Team makes it all even better. We felt very well taken care of on each and every dive. The team, appropriately, puts safety as a #1 priority, but they also have wonderful personalities and make everything fun. I won't remember all the names (or spell them correctly) but here goes: its starts with the department Manager Curtis Bailey. His leadership, hospitality and customer-facing attitude sets an example for the whole team. We contacted him personally before our stay and he assured us of many things, and on-site he made it all great. We worked on PADI Wreck Diver certification, and Curtis facilitated that and organized some dives for us which were some of our best dives ever. Our wreck dive instructor was Shimere Green. He's a fine instructor and like all of these guys is a lot of fun to dive with. We enjoyed getting to know him. He was also patient in helping us with our log books. Zade was with us a lot and he helped me see lots of cool stuff underwater. Another great guy. We didn't get to dive much this trip with Prince (the self-appointed "Best Diver in Grenada") but he too is excellent in every way. Other dive staff are also top-notch and I apologize for any names I'm forgetting or getting wrong: Cleveland, Marcus, Adrian and others. Our boat captain was usually Sean and he is fantastic. He gives a very fine boat safety speech (which I now know mostly by heart) and he is a skilled boat captain and another wonderful friendly guy. We also took a tour (sight-seeing) boat ride with Sean and his knowledge and pride were truly evident. We also had a couple of dives with Captain Randall and I wish we had gotten to know him better. Excellent fellow. Several other fellows served as boat mates and I appreciated their contributions and TLC and regret not remembering their names. Finally, the women in the dive shop (Anne-Marie in particular) are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and generally a pleasure to deal with. The boat shop itself has very nice merchandise. There is a large-ish dive boat (Astonia) and a small dive boat (Pearl, I think) and they are both excellent boats, kept very clean and well maintained. We loved the resort and I don't have anything bad to say about it -- I will say that I hardly met any staff, in any position-who weren't uniformly hospitable, kind, friendly and helpful. I think the Grenadan people are generally like that and the Sandals organization must get the cream of the hospitality industry. All in all, if you are a diver and you like all-inclusive, I highly recommend Sandals Grenada. I can't wait to go back.
