I can highly recommend Pete and the rest of the team to any divers who want to dive with a small, friendly operation on the West Side of Barbados, and despise (as much as I do) the "ship 'em and dip 'em" type mentality of large scale commercial dive operators. Given that it was my first trip to Barbados, I... More

Many thanks for a brilliant day! I've spent the past 15+ years traveling, diving and working onboard dive boats and liveaboards in many places throughout the world. West Side Scuba was by far one of my best experiences yet! The crew and instructors were professional, polite, attentive and extremely friendly. They were able to easily accommodate a variety of skill... More

I contacted several of the dive operators recommended by tripadvisor using email contacts from the web. Even my phone messages went unanswered for a couple of days. However when I got to Holetown I came across West Side Divers while walking along the beach. I was very glad it happened that way because I could not imagine a nicer, more... More

I#ve dived with WSSC a number of timesover the last couple of years and it's the best scuba experience I've ever had! The dive masters TZ and Peter are fantastic and point out alot of things you would miss if you weren't a local! I've seen more aquatic life than ever, including sea horses, turtles, barracuda,octopi, sea snakes and millions... More

I've been going to WSSC for 3 years. I began diving with their discover scuba program, and last month I completed my PADI. I've developed such a great relationship with Peter and Trudy and love not only doing business with them, but considering them friends. They make every dive fun and exciting, and the staff are very knowledgable about they... More

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with West Side Scuba...the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Peter was a ball! And his right hand man Tz, also made my experience super relaxed and fun. The boat was really good, and made it very easy to get in and out of the water. Everyone was really helpful. More

We did our PADI open water certification and a few dives here, and had a great experience. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable, and since it was just the two of us getting certified at the time, we got plenty of individualized instruction. Since the training dives are just offshore, we even got to see some reefs and wrecks while... More

I did 10 dives when I there and every dive site we went too was amazing. I saw so much wild life I... More

I dove with West Side Scuba the last week of October. There were 10 divers on-board and getting everyone organized and to the boat turned out to be the first challenge. I finally asked where I needed to go to get my equipment since no one recognized that I was still without waiting patiently. On the boat we received our... More

Had a blissful time with the guys (& gal) at West Side Scuba. What we were looking for was a chilled out relaxed holiday with a bit of diving thrown in. The team at WSSC, Peter, Robbie, Troy & the unforgettable Mrs G made sure that we had a fab time. No thing too much to address. We were only... More
