Viva Fortuna Beach by Wyndham Unveils 2025 Dive Weeks on Grand Bahama Island and Expands DR Open Sponsorship

 

MIAMI, April 15, 2025 – Viva Fortuna Beach by Wyndham, an all-inclusive resort on Grand Bahama Island, is pleased to announce the return of its signature Dive Weeks in 2025. In addition to its diving offerings, Viva Resorts is reaffirming its commitment to sports tourism and community engagement through the continued and expanded sponsorship of the Dominican Republic Open (DR Open)- a premier international beach tennis event that promotes wellness, connection, and active travel.

 

Designed for certified divers, the Dive Weeks offer the opportunity to experience the world-renowned underwater ecosystems of the Bahamas. Participants will explore vibrant coral reefs, exciting wrecks, and abundant marine life, all under the guidance of professional PADI-certified dive instructors.

 

Viva Fortuna Beach by Wyndham is the only all-inclusive resort on Grand Bahama Island with a full-service dive center on property. Guests can immerse themselves in the beauty of the underwater world while enjoying the resort’s signature hospitality, amenities, and stunning beachfront location.

 

Dive Week participants can choose from four dates in 2025: May 17-24, September 13-20, September 21-27 and November 8-15. Packages start at $1,305 per person, based on double occupancy in a Garden view room, and include 7-night all-inclusive accommodations, four days of tank boat dives (10 dives total), airport transfers, all meals, beverages, taxes, and resort activities. 

 

In addition to the diving experience, Viva Resorts by Wyndham continues to expand its support for the DR Open. The 2025 series will feature tournaments in Las Terrenas from July 4–6. The event brings together both local and international athletes, showcasing the culture and community of the Dominican Republic.

 

“From immersing yourself in the breathtaking underwater landscapes of the Bahamas to experiencing the vibrant energy of beach tennis in the Dominican Republic, we are dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences that celebrate the natural beauty and dynamic spirit of our destinations,” said Amanda Santana, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Viva Resorts by Wyndham.

 

Viva Resorts by Wyndham is also a proud sponsor of the 2025 Master of the Ocean, taking place Sept. 17–21 in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. Now in its 20th year, the event is the only competition in the world to combine five ocean disciplines—surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, kitesurfing, windsurfing and wing foiling—into a single showcase of athleticism and ocean culture. Set along Cabarete’s scenic coastline, the event draws top international athletes and ocean enthusiasts for a week of adrenaline, celebration and community.

 

Continuing its support of open-water sports, Viva Resorts by Wyndham will also host Oceanman at Viva Dominicus Beach in Bayahibe from Oct. 10–12. Part of the world’s premier open-water swimming series, the event welcomes amateur and professional swimmers from around the globe to compete in an inspiring Caribbean setting, underscoring the brand’s commitment to wellness, personal challenge and immersive travel experiences.
