    You must go to Hazell's Water World! John Hazell is an expert. He is simply the best on the island. Wherever you find yourself on the spectrum between amateur or pro, we highly recommend stopping by his place if you're interested in stepping up your diving-game. Even during an incredibly difficult week for John personally, he went the extra mile for us, ensuring we left with the best equipment, tips and tricks. Accurate fittings and functional, enduring gear are guarantees. We will think of John whenever we are using our masks, snorkels and fins. Definitely looking forward to returning for more in the future.

    We looked all over Barbados to either rent snorkel gear for several days or buy gear for a week long trip. There are reefs all over and we didn’t want to rent by the hour and have to stay in one place. We found Hazell’s and we are so glad we did. John fitted two adults and and an 8 year old girl expertly and carefully. Be sure to bring your passport number and flight number for duty free! We can’t wait to spend the rest of our trip scuba diving all around Barbados. Thank you, John for hooking us up!

    Great dive shop and good prices, I stopped in with a few questions about equipment and walked out with a new set of Mares fins and gloves. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful and I'd recommend this shop to anyone that wants to purchase good gear and get the right advice while doing so... Thanks for your help!

    Stopped by to purchase new snorkelling kits , the owner was super helpful, making sure that our masks were the correct fit and comfortable for us . We didn't feel rushed, received plenty of advice and assistance and walked away very happy and ready to explore some of the local snorkelling spots. Highly recommend Hazells , will definitely shop there again

    John Hazell is great! He got my 11 year-old son set up with an excellently fitted mask and fins.

    John was very helpful getting us all set up with Snorkles and flippers well worth the drive down from Speightstown. We have had some amazing days since snorkeling wrecks/reefs and with turtles!

    The owner John is personable and has a thorough understanding of his products and his sport. He is passionate about helping others safely enjoy the ocean and all it has to offer.

    Only shop on the island. Great guy really helpful. Call in and ask for a set of flippers just to watch his face as he corrects you with the word fins. Love teasing him and having a laugh see you soon Hazell

    John Hazell couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful or friendly. Full of knowledge and great advice. This was my third visit for snorkeling gear. A lovely man with decades of experience of all things water based.

    Good information and products. Owner is a bit grumpy.

    My husband and I have shopped here a few times, and we highly recommend Hazell's Water World! John genuinely cares about his customers and has decades of experience in his field. He makes sure your new equipment fits perfectly and teaches you how to care for it properly. He really takes his time with you and answers all of your questions. Such a lovely man, very warm and helpful.

👍👍 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 j...

👍👍 I couldn't recommend G Fish more! I completed my open water certification here and both Karina and G are incredible, patient and fun instructors. I had some anxiety before the first dive and they both handled it brilliantly - because of their personal attention I was able to finish the dive. If I...

👍👍 Roger's picked us up from Ruby Princess cruise ship. Shanika, our dive master, made us no promises but we saw turtles, octopus, trumpet fish, bat fish and huge schools of other small fish. We got to watch her feed a harvested lion fish to the octopus. My wife and I really didn't care about diving...
