Blue Reef Divers, February, 1995. "Relaxed diving; fantastic wreck: Stavronikita; equipment in good condition; discount for using our own BC and regulators. Boats slow but roomy; dive operators safety conscious. Limited shore diving because of in-accessibility of tanks. Overall was good diving." Cliff Plouse, Oakfield, NY

Exploresub, December, 1994. "Barbados is perfect for diver/nondiver couples as there is really a lot to do besides diving. All the dive sites are good but two wrecks are excellent: 1) Stavronikita, for its size (356 ft.) and beauty; 2) Berwyn for its macro­photo opportunities. The water was warm (80­82 degrees, visibility 80­100 feet. Some sites could be boring for experienced divers." Alessandro Usai, Tourinnes­St. Lt., Belgium

Underwater Barbados, Sam Lords Castle, March, 1995. "Sam Lord's at the other side of the island; Michael, the owner of Underwater Barbados, picked me up every day at the requested time. The dive operation was accommodating; small boat and short trips to the dive sites. They are all close to the shore. . . . Overall diving was OK. There were mostly small fish and invertebrates. A must dive is sunken ship Stavronikita. You can swim through it. It is still intact and the best wreck I've ever dived." Lori Schramim, Chicago, IL
