2000 Chapbook

Barbados is busy and crowded, with lots of fast traffic, big splashy resorts, and restaurants galore.... There's ordinary Caribbean diving with tropical fish, although big ones are rare, but it's fine for beginners or for a dive or two on a golf holiday.... You still can find century-old bottles in the harbor with the Dive Shop.... The wreck of the Stavronikita is interesting, but jammed with tourist divers.... The average daily temperature is in the mid-80s year round; there's considerable rain from June to January, and it's important to watch for hurricanes....
