Jolly Dive is located on the beach at Jolly Beach with easy access to Antigua's finest dive sites.
Jolly Dive has been operating from Jolly Beach in Jolly Harbor for over 25 years and is staffed with both PADI and NAUI professional scuba diving instructors.
Cade’s Reef is our primary diving location. It is only a 20 minute boat ride aboard our dive boat to the southwest side of the island. This 7 mile long caribbean reef system offers a wide variety of dive sites with many types of marine creatures including hundreds of colorful corals, tropical fish, lobster, stingrays, barracuda, turtles and other exotic wonders.
Another of our favorite dives, although shallow, is Fryers Shoal. About a mile and a half off Jolly Beach this 20’(6m) knoll is the perfect spot for the first timer and very popular with our certified divers as a photo location.

Our Diving excursions operate Monday through Saturday with Sundays available upon request. |
The comfort and safety of our guests is of the utmost importance to us. We keep a staff member on board the dive boat during all of our dives
Our custom built dive boat “Diving Belle Too” departs for a guided two tank dive at 9:00am and returns at approximately 1:00pm.
We normally begin with a deeper dive between 60 and 70ft (18-22m), followed by a second shallower dive at a new location. The second dive averages between 30 and 45ft (10-14m).
Our one tank dive is a shallow afternoon dive that is perfect for beginners, training dives and for the certified diver who wants to enjoy an easy relaxed dive. We depart at approximately 1:00pm and return at 3:30 |
