Pros: Unique dive sites, full length dives Cons: A lack of full service - no drop off to hotel and hard to get on boat The second dive shop I visited in Barbados was "The Dive Shop" for 2 fun dives. In the words of Barack Obama, I chose to "spread the wealth around" by using a different dive shop... More

I participated in the Discover Scuba course this month. Typically this intro course begins with an intro to scuba performed in shallow waters followed by a deep water dive. Unfortunately, the day I was scheduled the sea was too rough to do the intro section in shallow waters so we were forced to do it in deep waters. I found... More

We arranged our dive a week before our cruise. They picked us up outside the port entrance and brought us back after the dive. The equipment was excellent and appeared brand new. The dive shop is on the beach so we had to wade out carring our gear but since I have a bad knee they helped me with my... More

I'm not sure who rachybaby23 dove with, but it doesn't sound anything like The Dive Shop I visited last month!! My wife has 20 years diving experience, but had not dove in several years so she decided to join my 13 year old on a discover diver course. I hung around and listened as David did a thorough land lesson... More

While relaxing in the hotel after our first full day on the island, we started sorting thru all the excursion brochures and found that The... More

I am an experienced diver and active Instructor with over well over 2000 dives in my career. Fatema and the Dive Shop were very attentive to our needs and took very good care of our group. Every year I bring groups of divers to different destinations and have to rely on local dive operations to be professional. The dive shop... More
