5 Star Service with an island flair

Our professional staff will help you enjoy a wide range of water sports and scuba diving. All Staff are medically trained.

The Barbados Blue dive shop is the only facility on island with two on staff Marine Biologists, one of whom (Andre Miller MSc.) is also the PADI Project Aware Coordinator for Barbados.

At Barbados Blue we focus on the ecological aspect of scuba diving and snorkelling, after all we helped draft the local diving and water sports regulations.

Our Marine Biologists have been planning underwater and beach cleanups for over ten years, and have coordinated coral transplantation and coral monitoring projects in the Eastern Caribbean. Moreover, in celebration of International Year of the Reef we have been involved in public awareness presentations & primary school excursions, in addition to being a PADI Project AWARE Coral Reef Monitoring Dive Centre, and, this summer along with the Barbados Coastal Zone Management Unit we will be hosting a dive festival.

Our dive shop is located at the Hilton Hotel on Needhams's Point which gives us easy access to both the south and west coasts of Barbados. We are also a 5 minute boat ride away from the Carlisle Bay Marine Park with its great snorkelling and shipwreck diving.

Hilton beach is the most dense Hawksbill Turtle nesting beach in the Eastern Caribbean, so you are almost guaranteed to see one while snorkeling, kayaking or diving with us.

Dive or play with the Barbados Blue crew, then have lunch at the Hilton Lighthouse Restaurant or Water's Edge beach bar.

Testimonials

“Christie, and everyone at Barbados Blue thanks for making our recent vacation in Barbados the perfect trip!
Our experiences snorkelling and diving were exactly what we had hoped for. Everyone at Barbados Blue is so helpful and friendly, I can not speak highly enough of your organization. My niece Shannon talked about her diving experiences all the way home, believe me that was a long time because we were stuck in the Atlanta airport for 32 hours! Thanks for making our vacation to Barbados great.”Debbie H.– March 2008

“I can’t ever say enough positive things about my instructor at Barbados Blue in Barbados next to the Hilton.  My instructor was the BEST ever.  I appreciate everything done to help me have no fear out in the open water! Thanks again........and the staff there are the BEST!” Barbara Paton Judge. – October 2007

“Unbelievably I received my PADI Registration Card today!!! Can't believe I actually did it, small thing for you guys (and Grant) but big thing for me. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you, you were great fun, very patient and good instructors, we both had the best time…and we'll definitely be seeing you again.” Paula Loy – May 2007

“I started my diving in 1962 but never bothered to be certified. Being in Barbados for a few weeks presented a wonderful opportunity. At the Hilton was ‘Barbados Blue’ operated by Andre Miller and my official instructor, Christine Finney. They, and the entire staff, were extraordinary. The course was most satisfactory in every way.” Bob Maiale - February 2007

"Just wanted to say what an awesome time we had diving in Barbados, after failing my open water certification here in Alberta, I was ready to give up, thankfully with the professional expertise and patience from the staff at Barbados Blue, I passed my course and we can't wait to dive again. We had so much fun with all of you and are looking forward to coming back.  Thanks to all of you for the experience of a lifetime and we'll see you in October 2007!!!!!!!!"

“Thanks so much for a wonderful snorkelling experience!  We went on a snorkelling trip with you to see the turtles and the wrecks and it was one of the best trips we'd ever been on.  We really appreciate that you took out our small group of 4 on the 9:15 am trip even though you had another larger tour going out later that afternoon.  You took great care of us and we've raved about the trip to all of our friends.  I highly recommend Barbados Blue. You run a great organization”   Kim E. Duncan – July 2006
