PADI Training

What Divers Are Saying

Barbados Blue is very well run, professional shop in a great location (on Carlisle Bay) with very well maintained equipment and extremely knowledgeable and personable instructors. I just finished my 2-day, 4-dive initial PADI open water training after completing the PADI e-learning before arriving. The instruction for my group of 5 was just the right blend of casual but thorough. I had a great experience and recommend them highly. A 10/10!!

One day Padi Discover Experience. Learned the basics in the swimming pool (small group) in the morning and went on a 40 minutes dive in the afternoon. Great instructor Shiv. Calm, professional, enthusiastic and friendly. Amazing first time experience. Highly recommended.

Went diving with Barbados Blue Water Sports during my cruise ship stop. The taxi from the cruise port to their location was quick and easy. The customer service starts when you walk in and everyone, Ochell, Richard, and Aaron, were incredible. The boat is one of the nicest dive boats I have ever been on! If you want to go diving in Barbados, this is the company to do it with!

5 star ratingReassuring team and incredible first dive A fantastic experience! First time divers and quite nervous, but the training with Nicole in the pool was very reassuring, and Andre was incredible on the way to the dive. He completely calmed me down and made us feel super safe.
During the dive we saw amazing fish and the shipwrecks were stunning. Andre, true to his word, was never far away and was excellent at keeping track of how I was feeling.
Thanks to all at Barbados Blue for making our first dive super special!

I did the 4 tank dive, 2 dives in the morning for 2 days. Very professional crew, great dive sites. I am a solo diver and they paired me with great dive buddies. We didn't do any deep dives, stayed around 60' but since I am Rescue certified, I ventured to the deeper side of the divemaster maxed out at 75'. The reefs are very alive and the wrecks were fun. We did a couple drift dives that were very relaxing. The dives were around 40 to 45 minutes, so the dives were limited to the diver that went through their air the fastest. I had a lot of fun, I hope to return.

Very experienced, knowledgable, and hospitable staff. They go above and beyond to locate marine life for customers to be able to admire without disturbing their habitat. For snorkeling adventures, dive masters will free dive to ocean floor to get footage for you.

I highly recommend Barbados Blue to all divers. I spent four days there completing my Open Water PADI certification and doing some additional dives. My journey began with a bit of a panic attack, as I realized that combining the mask and regulator triggered some unresolved claustrophobia. However, with the expert guidance of Nicole and especially Kiera, they helped me overcome my fear and successfully earn my PADI certification. This experience has truly opened up a whole new world for me. Throughout the entire process, the team was incredibly supportive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that my first official dives after completing the Open Water certification were absolutely unforgettable.

Buena tienda, buenos empleados. Deberían ir a mejores lugares y gastar un poco más de combustible. Seguramente en Barbados hay mejores lugares para bucear que queden a más de 10 minutos del embarcadero. El segundo buceo literalmente frente a su tienda.
