As the new owner, I am very aware of some of the historical issues and concerns that have been expressed on Trip Advisor, and I am motivated to correct any shortfalls as we move forward. There is no excuse for poor service! While we acknowledge and are grateful for all the work and energy put into the business over the course of its 30 year history, we also recognize that in the past few years, there have been some issues with the quality of service that has been provided at BWD. We want you to know that we are working hard to correct these, and we hope that anyone who has had a less than enjoyable experience with BWD will come back again to give us another try.... We also want anyone who is thinking of trying out BWD while they are in Bermuda, to know that steps have already been taken to correct some of the problems that have led to negative reviews in recent years. We have great energy amongst the staff, and we are doing our best to make as many improvements as possible to our level of service, and amenities in the shops and on the boat, in order to make your experience more enjoyable. Please feel free to contact us directly if we can answer any questions, or help in any way with planning your dives while in Bermuda. We welcome your feedback! If you have dived with BWD since the change in ownership, please write us a review and let us know how we're doing :)All the best,Chris GauntlettOwner/OperatorBlue Water Divers and Watersports, Ltd « less

I HIGHLY recommend Blue Water Dive Shop! Chris is the new owner (as of last summer) and Ina is his right hand woman. Both are exemplary in their degree of dive knowledge and service but most of all patience with their clients. I came to Bermuda to get my Open Water PADI certification along with my daughter. Blue Water conducted... More

The new management is amazing, Chris has an awesome sense of humor, the crew is very knowledgeable and friendly (they brought carrot cake!) and the experience was truly memorable. I only read the previous reviews after we went diving with Chris and his crew and I have to say I was really surprised to find some negative ones. The only... More

The new ownership of Blue Water Divers has brought back the professionalism and commitment to making sure each and every diver has an awesome experience. His hand-picked crew is as dedicated as he is (well, almost!) and every moment on board is simply fun. Chris knows the dive sites extremely well along with the history. He has brought some great...

The crew was very good and took good care of us (novices). The sites chosen were also very good and were chosen quite well to take into account the weather of the past days that had been quite rainy and windy. The sites were shallow and our air lasted so long that in the end we had to come up... More

The Captain, divemasters and the rest of the staff were very knowledgeable about the wrecks in the waters around Bermuda which and I learned some history while on vacation which added to the overall experience. We plan on retunrning to bermuda next year and mst certainly will dive again with Blue... More

My wife and I completed our PADI open water course with BWD in late September/early October. We did four dives over two days: two wreck dives, and two reef dives. Our overall impression of this dive-shop was 5 stars, and here's why: We had an excellent dive-master, Chris, who is also the owner of the dive-shop. Chris personally accompanied my... More

I found the best dive company on Bermuda! Blue Water Divers! Chris, and Marx are the ultimate pros', Chris grew up on the island, and knows just about everything about the place and its dive sites. They took my Girlfriend and I out to the Mary Celestia, a side paddlewheel steamer that was chartered by the Confederate Army during the... More

After our cruise ship cancelled a shore excursion dive, we booked with BWD. BWD staff was helpful, friendly, and went out of their way to accommodate us, to the point of holding their boat departure for us when the cruise ship docked late on the first day we were scheduled to dive with them. We had an amazing time doing... More

We looked at a few different dive companies (including the one associated with our hotel), but wound up going with Blue Water Divers because they had a great review from the New York Times and they were more affordable than the others. When my wife and I got there we met the owner, Chris. He gave us some nice gear... More

I spent five days in bernuda and prior to any dive trip I read ALL of the trip advisor, knowing you can not please everyone. ONE reasons I picked BWD was, the larger boat and reading of reviews of smaller boats not making the trip due to rough waters, and after spending $$$ I didn't want to set out a... More
