PADI Training

What Divers Are Saying

This is one of the best PADI dive shops I've ever dove with!! As a solo advanced diver, I was looking for a company to take me out for 10+ dives and do a wreck specialty course over one week and Barbados Blue (specifically Oschell and André) was the clear choice to do this with! Not only was it a breeze to book, but the customer service and experience of divemasters (Keira, Nicole and Stephen) were well beyond what was expected. They TRULY went above and beyond to help make my experience easy and fun - all while having incredible dives of course. I made many great friends with the team and fellow divers and saw some amazing dive sites (of course). There is no doubt when I come back to Barbados, I will be itching to come back to see and dive with the team at Barbados Blue Water Sports. I wish I could give a 10/5 rating for this crew. Amazing and would HIGHLY recommend this professional, safe and reliable dive shop.

I completed both my Open Water and Advanced Diving certifications with Barbados Blue, and I couldn't have had a better experience! All of the staff are friendly and super knowledgeable about all aspects of diving, and were more than happy to answer any questions I might have had with any part of the learning process. I can't recommend them highly enough, and I can't wait to dive with them again during my next visit to the island.

The people are very pleasant. However, their communication skills from phone calls to website are very poor. As an experienced scuba diver. They are too worried about covering their butt and not asking questions like when was your last dive and how many have you done. I was denied the ability to scuba dive with this team due to taking some medication unrelated to scuba and they simply told me that they were not a doctor and I could not go without a form. That would be fine if they told you in advance at minimum. After paying for transportation and equipment to get to the shop. Maybe some of these details should be included in a basic faq or form when you pay online. Try harder Barbados Blue

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

5 star ratingLook 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!
