We dove out of The Dive Shop in Bridgetown. Haroon and the gang there were so nice. They picked us up every morning at our rental house and dropped us off every afternoon. Even on a trip to town, we got mixed up on the transit system and Haroon's wife drove us home. No problem. There were 5 of us diving and we were able to basically tell them which dive sites we wanted to see and if the conditions were good we went there. We got our Wreck Cert there and they were so thorough and made sure we understood everything. The wreck Stavronikita is well worth the trip. It has tons of coral growth on it and lots of animals. Carlisle Bay is also great for wrecks. They have planted them there but there are about six of them and easy access with lots of growth. Barbados has a 3km reef and it is abundant with big fans, coral and lots of see life. Surface intervals are made back at the dive shop and make sure you eat right outside their place at this little shack. The guys there makes the best fish sandwiches. All the locals eat there and it is priced reasonable. Make sure you also dive Bottle Ground. This is where any old bottles you find, you get to keep. Make sure you also see the sites on land. You can tour the whole island in one day and see everything. |
