Usually booking dives directly through the resort is more expensive. There are a number of dive operators on the island. If you do not rent a car, they will come to the resort and pick you up and then drop you back off. The most popular, and also the largest operators are Unique, Red Sail and Pelican (owned by Unique).

You don't mention whether the divers in your group are certified. If they are not, figure anywhere between $75 - $100 for a Discover Scuba "resort course" introductory dive.
Don't make the mistake we made one year of booking an unlimited dive package without trying out the operator first. We just booked automatically thinking it would be great because we had had good experiences in the past. Wrong! By the time we found out their operation had gone downhill, it was too late to get our money back.
