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!

Exceptional Dive Experience with Barbados Blue – Can’t Wait to Return! Fantastic day with the team at Barbados Blue Scuba Diving!

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 an issue and actually enjoyable watching the DSD’s clear their masks and recover their reg’s etc.

Barbados Blue Water Sports, was hands-down my favorite experience on the island. Weather you are looking for just a snorkelling experience , or a full dive package. I did 2 dives with them. The staff are awesome. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and qualified. I was present during the refresher/discover scuba diving course; as it had been a while for me since my last dive. The first day we had Nicole; and she was awesome. She explained everything to everyone very clearly, and displayed excellent professionalism, and compassion to the newbies. The dive itself was amazing. Tonnes of fish. It’s like swimming in an aquarium. The 45 minute dive feels like 3 minutes; because you are just so captivated by all the creatures you will see. After my first dive; my wife,( who had just learned how to snorkel). Decided (with some mild persuasion) that she wanted to do the discover scuba program! This time Jay took us over to the pool. He took the time to show my wife everything she needed to know, was so professional, kind, and compassionate, and kindly answered any questions my wife had. Jay then was super supportive and patient, helping her descend to our dive depth. And from there, everything went smoothly. In summary; Everyone on staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They have the skills, and patience to teach scuba to people of all ages, kids and adults. Their dives are operated safely and smoothly. They are organised and professional. They provide good quality, top of the line equipment to their guests. Cressi, and scubapro. And you will 100% get what you came for! If I come back to Barbados, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will book with Barbados Blue again. Thanks guys!
