We spent two days with two dives each at Rogers Scuba Shack. Although the reefs in Barbados are not that much populated with fish, we saw lots of interesting stuff. We had at least three turtles per dive, an eagle ray, sting rays, an enormous baracuda and the small critters in the corals. I can only recommend Rogers Scuba Shack... More

It must be notes that Rogers Scuba Shack is no longer located in the Boat Yard but has moved about 200m down the street to its own more relaxed premises. The Service was great that is all I can say. We were picked up on time from our hotel, the equipment was first class and the staff were a hoot... More

If you are not an experienced diver this would be a good pace to go and get a few dives under your belt. I was disappointed I had to do the "SCUBA review" class with an advanced certification and 52 dives under my belt because I hadn't been diving in 1 1/2 years. I'm sure better to be safe than... More

Once in the water I had the time of my life. I got a lot of great pictures. The staff and crew were great. Wadding out to the boat was not a lot of fun but worth the trip. Very little directions were given as to pre-wadding boarding. I was picked up and dropped off at the shop and kind... More

Pros: Large dive boat, above average equipment Cons: Timed dives, decent not great diving Roger's Scuba Shack is a very good dive shop along the South & West Coast. I went for 5 dives with them to obtain my Advanced Open Water certificate. They are funny, laid back dive shop and they are great at pointing out the life including... More

I went to Roger's for my certification with my boyfriend who was already certified for scuba. This was probably the worst place to go for a first time diver. I almost gave up on scuba diving all together after this experience. Our divemaster was George, Roger's brother. He was incredibly rude, sarcastic, and made me feel dumb. After our first... More

Contacted Rogers scuba shack ahead of our stop in Barbados aboard a cruise ship. Densie was very quick at responding to my questions and letting me know where and when we would meet our transportation. Dive shop was about a 10 minute ride away from the port once we got there we filled out our waivers and we were given... More

Mark was one of the best scuba instructors in the world. Fun, knowledgable and credible I trusted this man with my life and he didn't disappoint! Carlisle Bay is a fabulous safe environment to learn scuba and the marine life is out of this world. Highly recommend these guys! More

This was a great scuba operation. I booked two days of diving on my recent trip and was not disappointed. I like that they pick you up and drop you off fromyour hotel. The diving itself was wonderful and we got great bottom time. In addition to seeing some of the wrecks, they were great to point out some of... More

Mark and Roger run the dive shop right on Carisle Bay. Very organized and clean, your equipment is ready for you when you arrive at the shop for your dives and no problem leaving it there. Fresh water showers and tubs to rinse off after diving. They picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel for every dive.... More
