I booked a 3 dive package online for my trip. - I emailed in advance and they recommended any day but monday. so i booked for tuesday. -booked and paid online with visa debit credit card -They are located at the end of the beach in the bay. They are actually inside the hilton hotel grounds, and you past a small security hut to get in. I just said i was going diving with blue water and she was nice and gave me directions. -When i got there i went inside and checked in. signed medical questionaire form. and then waited outside for gear at the picknick tables. I had my own shorty wet suit, mask and snorkel. -They have a 2 tank dive in the morning, and 1 dive in afternoon. The afternoon dive is aways in the bay with the turtles and wrecks. -Our first 2 dives were along the south coast, about where the KFC is (we could see it beside us). The first was called "the boot", and i forget the second dive sites name, it was right off the shore of the KFC. They gave us green tea and banana bread between the 2 dives. They were both good dives, saw lots of coral, and soft coral, and fish, spotted and green eels, turtles, sting ray. -Second dive was in the bay with the wrecks and turtles. it was a good shallow dive, with swim throughs in 2 ships, a turtle was right on the other side of a swim through which was a nice treat. saw a couple of turtles, lots of fish, trumpet fish, a small octopus a guide found, sea cucumber, eels, flat fish, multiple wrecks covered in fish and coral, small shrimp and more. -The guides for all the dives was Sofie and Nicole, and the first 2 dives there was another dive master, but maybe he was in training, i forget his name but it might have been Trent? he guided us for the first 2 dives. The second dive it was Nicole leading us, and Sofie lead another group seperatly, but met up at the end of dive and sofie found a small octopus near the end spot. -I forgot to take my seasick pill in the morning, and the boat was rocking a bit between the first 2 dives, and at least 3 others were not feeling well (new divers) but no one was sick, and the banana bread between dives was great. The morning dives were about 10 min boat ride from start, and the second was maybe 2-5 min. -Enter the boat walking into water, waist high. -good size boat, and wasnt crowded. -I had 1 hour between the morning 2 dives and the afternoon dive to grab something to eat (12pm-1pm). I walked up the coast and went to a restaurant to get some french fries and drink. -They have showers to use to wash after, and tubs for gear. Overall a great time diving here, recommended

Dive center davvero di alto livello. Ho prenotato tutto online mediante il loro sito. In loco appena sono arrivato sono stato subito accolto e mi è stata fornita subito l’attrezzatura necessaria (non ho preso la muta seppur offerta data l alta temperatura dell’acqua). Tutto materiale di prima qualità (tutto scubapro e cressi ). Barca per gli spostamenti nuova , grande e accogliente con varie postazioni per alloggiamento bombola per poter montare l’attrezzatura direttamente lì . Tra una immersione e l’altra ci hanno offerto the caldo , arancia e un pezzetto di torta cosa che ho molto gradito. Immersioni molto belle con guide attente e preparate. Consigliatissimo

Look no further Today was my last day diving with this shop and they were amazing! From my 27 questions before arriving and booking, to getting me home on my last day, the service is top notch. All of the staff are very helpful, the dives were great
despite the weather, and my mission to spear Lionfish occurred. I will definitely be back. Thanks everyone!!

We did 3 dives with them - 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, and we finished ~1 hour before our cruise ship’s departure. They were so helpful to give us a ride back to the port, so we didn’t have to call a taxi and pay ~$20. Our overall experience = 5 stars. They operate very efficiently and everyone was super friendly & knowledgeable. Best highlight: we saw all the shipwrecks too!

Great snorkel tour My husband and I did the snorkel tour of Carlisle bay visiting a number of different wrecks. We saw sea turtles and many other fish. We were on the same boat as a number of scuba divers. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. One thing I liked was that there wasn’t the push for tips. In fact the tip jar if you wanted to tip (and I did after the great experience), is in the shop. Their location is right near the Hilton (across the parking lot) so very convenient if staying there. The boat ride was a short ride of 2 to 3 minutes to the first wreck sight. Once you are in the water you are guided to about 5 other different wrecks. Highly recommend

Probably better for divers Booked a snorkel tour. The description said drink and snack - did not receive one. The boat was very crowded and more of the people onboard were scuba divers. They kept bumping into us in the water and we had to wait for the divers to get into the water etc. this was a short trip to Carlisle Bay which had lots of fish and turtles and a ray. The location was lovely I would have preferred a less hectic snorkel experience. The boat was very clean and the staff at the counter were nice. I wasn’t so impressed with the professionalism of the staff on the boat.
I probably would choose a different vendor next time but this was convenient and met our needs.

Fantastic day with the team at Barbados Blue Scuba Diving! We chose to do the Discover Scuba dive and a refresher/certified diver dive, hoping we could dive together or at least be close enough to see each other. Myself and another diver participated in the Discover Scuba session in the pool and completed the same pool exercises. I felt this was a bit unnecessary, as we could have done the scuba review while waiting for the other Discover Scuba participants to join. However, it wasn’t a major issue. The dive setup and timing were very well organized. As a divemaster and DSD leader with over 300 dives, I tend to look at these things differently, but I was impressed. I highly recommend this company—the equipment was well-maintained, and the team was professional. Perhaps the biggest compliment we can give is that we plan to return so my partner can complete the PADI Open Water Course, and possibly the Advanced Open Water as well!
