    Great experience overall. Little more pricey than some other options on the island but the pebbles beach is by far one of the nicest. We went jet skiing and chatted with Gus before hand, top bloke. Jet skiing was fun and we got a little over the half an hour time slot. Left my sunglasses in the jet ski and the fella didn’t bring em back so i hope he likes them, i miss them dearly :(

    We did the Discover Scuba Diving session and it was brilliant. Everything was really well explained and you were given plenty of time in the pool to get used to things... And then it was time for a real dive! We were in a small group and felt really safe and well looker after by the instructors. We got to see some amazing sights. Well worth the money. If you have never done scuba diving before I doubt you could find a better place to do it than Barbados, give it a go, you won't regret it!

    A great dive shop involved with reef conservation, we helped with those efforts and hunted Lionfish on our last of 20 dives. We killed 8. Tom was a big help. Amy is passionate and knowledgeable. It was sad to say that we dive all over the world, master divers with 700+ dives and there's not much marine life in beautiful Barbados. We did see 3 seas horses, several Flying Gurnards and the occasional turtle but for the most part I think the island is over fished and destroying the fish population. It was very sad and disturbing to see 2 huge abandoned fishing traps just outside the marine park filled with dozens of beautiful tropical fish and an adult spotted Moray Eel. In other countries we visit this isn't allowed and they even close sections of reefs to fisherman AND divers for months at a time so the marine life can reestablish itself. I hope that Barbados makes some big changes before it's too late. We had a great time and enjoyed all the wrecks. Amazing visibility on every dive, very relaxed, chill diving.. Thanks for all you do! Keep fighting for your reefs.

    When a dive centre answers your unqualified wife’s queries in a courteous, friendly and helpful manner you suspect they might be good. Once they had arrived bang on time to collect us from our apartment, checked us into the dive centre and allocated an attentive patient instructor, got me straight out on the boat for the first of 8 great dives etc etc we knew they were good! The dive guides are excellent, equipment good, it’s well run and efficient, divers on the boat were well matched in ability. Thank you for a great few days diving...! (And getting my previously aquaphobic wife thru her open water course;-))

    Had a great scuba diving experience with Barbados Blue. Enjoyed 2 open water dives with the best one being a shipwreck dive. Very friendly staff including the boat captain. Dive instructors are helpful and fun. Clean facilities and adequate security and safety.

    We went and did a discovery dive today with Liz. She and the whole team at Bluewater were amazing. Liz was patient and understanding with safety being the NUMBER ONE concern. She made us feel comfortable and in control before we went any further. The dive was amazing. We saw turtles and fish and eels and ship wrecks. Who could ask for more. I highly recommend this team if you want to to certify or just do the discovery.

    10/10 recommend Everyone at Barbados Blue will do anything they can to ensure you are able to participate in activities and that you enjoy every aspect. I did my Open Water Certification and the Enriched Air Certification with Liz. The equipment, facilities and instruction are top notch and I am so stoked I had the opportunity to experience training at this location. If you’re on the fence then just reach out to them. Oscell and Andre will make sure your arrangements are seamless!

    Absolutely enjoyed my training and certification for open water! Sophie did a great job and I look forward to more dives and training!

  • 5/5 David Y. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best experiences i've had. Kind, awesome and friendly team made seeing the turtles and fish easy and safe!

  • 5/5 Kerri B. 4 months ago on Google
    The staff at Barbados Blue Water Sports are all amazing, however there were two standouts for me, Keira and Richard! They truly went above and beyond for my husband and I and I will forever be greatful for them. I experienced a lot of anxiety while getting our dive certification and they took their time and helped me through so that I could achieve my goal of becoming certified. I would give this place 10 out of 10 stars if I could!

    Did 10 dives with Barbados Blue over the past week. The team were fantastic, friendly and helpful. Would definitely dive with them again.

    Thanks to Oschell for getting me squared away in the front office with a smile and a laugh! Shout out to Ajhanii for the refresher in the pool and serving as the guide on my first wreck dive! Your patience and knowledge are very appreciated!

  • 5/5 Jeremy F. 9 months ago on Google
    Barbados Blue provided a great experience. Staff were very professional and led a dive for myself and 12 yo daughter. They were both informative and supportive of her as she learned to dive. Diving in Carlisle Bay was incredible amongst the shipwrecks. These are a definite must if in Barbados.

  • 5/5 Henrik J. 1 year ago on Google
    Got a PADI Open Water certificate with Barbados Blue Water Sport. They are close to Hilton, and uses their pool for pool-training. This is great for beginners, as this is a very safe environment. I would think that doing basic training in the sea could be challenging... Also - Sofie is a fantastic instructor. Overall a great experience

  • 5/5 Elliott R. 1 year ago on Google
    I can not recommend Barbados Blue diving enough. Fantastic equipment and staff, I did two days off of the 2 Tank dives. So friendly and professional, I will 100000% be back! 🇧🇧🦑🐢🦀🐠🐟🐡🐙

    We had a fantastic scuba diving experience with Blue Water Sports. State of the art equipment- an excellent dive guide. We did the two tank open water dive and we were able to see six shipwrecks at the Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The staff were accommodating to us, and the whole dive experience was top notch! This was the most fun I have had scuba diving. Nice calm, warm water. Beautiful scenery- tons of sea life!

  • 5/5 Steve T. 1 year ago on Google
    It's been 10 years since I last dived. So I took the the Refresher course and went out for a 1 tank dive at Carlisle Bay. Great experience. J my instructor for the Refresher was really understanding of my absence from diving and was happy to go over all the fundamentals and safety. During the dive our Leader (forgot her name sorry) was clear and friendly. All the staff I interacted with from Barbados Blue were professional and friendly. Great experience. Very thankful. Will be back upon our return to de Island.

    Great day introduction to diving with Nicole . The teenagers absolutely loved it. The staff could not be nicer & safety always paramount, equipment was in excellent condition. Thank you so much for a great experience ! Probably our best day on holiday. Would highly recommend Barbados Blue

  • 5/5 Rachel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed our trip today - Johnny & Quince were great guides and our kids loved their first snorkelling trip. We saw a couple of turtles & stingrays and we were surrounded by fish when looking at the shipwrecks. It was lovely to be in a small tour group (we saw lots of big groups) and we really liked that Barbados Blue have a couple of marine biologists on staff. Would definitely recommend for a family trip! Thank you

  • 5/5 David F. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrific experience all around! The owner is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. Felt right at home! Our guide was funny, informative, and a favorite with my kids. We learned and experienced so much. The scuba diving with turtles and shipwrecks was unforgettable. All at a fair price. I'd come back to beautiful Barbados just for this experience. Now I want to learn to scuba dive Do it! You'll love it!

  • 5/5 Fatih K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Dive Center. Very professional, caring and talented dive masters and staff. I did 6-tank dives with them and enjoyed all, especially the wreck dives in the afternoon.

  • 5/5 Manpreet K. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience swimming with the turtles and snorkeling over the ship wrecks! The staff were really friendly. It was my first time snorkeling, so I was unsure how to properly breathe, but got the hang of it after around 20 mins... Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Nicolas L. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly skip the Boatyard and come here and do a discover scuba course. Absolutely incredible, never did scuba diving before and had a blast. Recommend it big time!

  • 5/5 Macha A. 2 years ago on Google
    I did my very first discovery dive with Barbados Blue and I wholeheartedly recommend it. From start to finish the staff were friendly, attentive and made me feel comfortable. In particular, Kira was a calm and confident diving instructor and paid careful attention to each of the divers in our group. The underwater sights were spectacular and surpassed my expectations!

  • 5/5 Maya G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and awesome instructors. It was my first time diving and I felt prepared and comfortable in the open water after the safety session in the pool. Diving is an awesome experience, if you’re in Barbados, you gotta go! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Chris W. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed a two tank dive with this great group during our Royal Caribbean stopover on the island. This team is really amazing, and provided an incomparable diving experience for us. We dove a great reef just south of the bay, and then finished diving 5 of the 8 wrecks in Carlisle Bay. It was amazing, with great water clarity and diversity of species including the usual turtles, sting rays, eels, lobster, and even an octopus.
