About Barbados

Map of BarbadosLocal Bajans will tell you that Barbados is 21 miles long and a ‘smile’ wide.  Although the island is in fact somewhat wider, it is easy to see where the saying comes from.  The population, some 270 000, always has a smile and a friendly greeting for visitors and neighbours alike.

The island has a distinctly British influence about it which is reflected in structures like the defense force garrison buildings which oddly enough surround the island’s race course.  The capital of Barbados is Bridgetown, a busy hub of activity where sports fishing boats and charter sailing vessels nestle alongside waterfront restaurants, and duty free shops.

Barbados Blue is located at the Hilton Hotel on Needham’s Point St. Michael, on the south-western tip of Barbados just south of Bridgetown.

 

Climate
Average temperatures range from 75 ˚F to 85 ˚F (24 ˚C to 30 ˚C), made comfortable by the steady and cooling trade winds.  The lowest temperatures occur between November and February.  The driest season is between January and May.  Even during the rainy season, from June to December, it rarely rains for more than an hour at a time and generally not everyday.

Currency
The Island currency is Barbados dollars, although United States dollars are accepted almost everywhere.

Current
The electrical current on Barbados is 110 v 50-60 Hz.  Please make sure you use some form of surge protector for delicate electrical items, as the island is prone to power spikes.

Transportation
In Barbados, vehicles drive on the left.  Small buses are an easy and inexpensive way to get around.  Car hire is easily arranged locally, you will be required to produce a valid driving license.

Generally speaking Barbadians are traditional with respect to shopping hours and personal attire.  Shops are open Monday – Friday ~ 9-5, Saturdays closing early afternoon and closed Sundays. Beach wear is generally not worn in town, and taxis do not transport wet sandy passengers. Please note that camouflage print clothing and accessories cannot be worn in Barbados as these patterns are restricted for military use only.

Tap water is potable and rich in calcium as a result of its natural filtration through the limestone cap (ancient coral reef) that makes up %85 of Barbados.  The geological history of Barbados and some great pictures of the reef that surrounds us on land and in the sea is presented in the recently released coffee table book ‘Barbados. A Coral Paradise” by Angélique Brathwaite, Hazel Oxenford and Ramon Roach.

100% AWARE

Barbados Blue is a 100% AWARE eco-diving facility and that means that for every student we certify at any PADI level we make a donation to ocean protection with the Project AWARE foundation. We are also a PADI Project Aware Coral Watch Dive Operator; as such we regularly monitor coral reefs and submit data to provide critical information on coral bleaching, and other ecological issues. Barbados Blue is also theReef Check Coordinating scuba diving shop for the Eastern Caribbean, and we conduct educational seminars for schools, youth camps and organize underwater and beach clean-ups.

BARBADOS BLUE IS…

A PADI Project AWARE Coral Watch Dive Operator undertaking monthly coral bleaching assessments in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The information gethered is submitted to an international database that records the relative coral health in all participating regions. The most critical times of year to monitor the coral colour are during high stress periods. Coral stress can result from elevated sea temperatures, nutrient overload (eutrophication), sedimentation (coastal development, storm swells), direct physical impact, natural disasters and more. As such a year long monitoring effort is important to understand and properly document the local conditions.
