“I was visiting Barbados this past October, and spent several days diving with you fine folk at Barbados Blue. Picked up a couple of PADI Specialties and enjoyed some fantastic diving.  Can’t believe it’s been over 6 months and I completely neglected to thank Christine, Roger and the whole gang for a splendid time.  You’re all top shelf in my book, and can’t wait to visit again.” Mike Tims Littleton, Colorado – May 2009

“Thank you for making our entire day nothing short of fantastic!! Your patience and kindness during the kids intro course at Tamarind Cove, driving us to and from the dive shop, and making Ryan and Amanda’s first dive in Barbados safe and amazing!

“In retrospect, I am so sorry I didn’t do my certification dives with you while in Barbados! When I did my research I’d written you off as a big dive shop catering to larger groups of neophyte divers, and I’m so sorry I had reached that mistaken conclusion. I really enjoyed going diving on Thursday and felt that you are running a thoroughly professional shop with excellent staff. Thanks for covering the taxi and providing two fun dives…I won’t hesitate to recommend your shop to others.” Alex Nicolaou – Jan 2009

“I just wanted to say a very big Thank you yet again for making my diving on Barbados so enjoyable. I truly LOVED all my dives with you. I was impressed by your professionalism and expertise and felt at all times safe and looked after.I started the week as a quite nervous diver but felt my confidence grow with each dive. The highlight for me was definitely the Stav! I have even dreamed about it since! But it was all great…my first turtle, first ray, first barracuda ,I know you guys see them every day but for me they were magic!” Ann McCabe – Jan 2009

“For anyone coming to Barbados and considering diving or snorkelling contact Barbados Blue. I just returned back to Canada from Barbados last week, this has been my 3rd year diving with them and I cannot emphasize how wonderful all the staff are, Andre, Christie, Roger, Laura Lynn & Sparrow.

Luv all of ya!!!!!! See you next year!” Barbie Schultz – Oct 2008

“I did the shipwreck snorkeling with Andre last week and I’d like you to pass on my thanks to him for the very relaxed and pressure free time we had. He was teaching some students that day and I was more than impressed with his professionalism whilst he was with them and his vast knowledge.

Thanks for making our vacation to Barbados great.”Debbie H.– March 2008

“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.

“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.
