Beautiful Caribbean Diving
Visiting
mariners have for years commented on the vibrancy of the "blue"
waters surrounding Barbados.
Barbados,
the most easterly island in the Caribbean archipelago is unlike many
of the other islands in the Caribbean, which are volcanic. Barbados
itself is an ancient coral reef with over 85% of its surface comprised
of limestone. This phenomenon explains why Barbados' topography below
and above the surface is relatively moderate, and why shallow reefs
can be found far offshore.
Barbados' limestone base, white coralline sand, clear oceanic waters,
and its location at N13° 10 W59° 32, affects the wavelength
of the light reflected. This gives us something unique, a colour, a
feeling
Barbados Blue!
