PittieMe74 Posted June 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Good day! First time visiting Barbados. We are arriving on Celebrity cruise ship in December 2023. Port arrival is 11am. Looking for a recommended dive operator that I can contact to see if they accommodate afternoon dives. If we cannot find a good recommendation, we may dive St. Lucia instead as we arrive earlier that day. If you also have recommendation for St. Lucia dive operator, please send it my way! Thank you for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROUS Posted June 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2023 For Barbados, I'd recommend West Side Scuba. Peter usually responds quickly. Hopefully, you'd be able to see their wreck park. Peter Grannum West Side Scuba Centre westsidescuba@gmail.com One of my Barbados dives I loved St Lucia and was able to see tons of sponges there. I dove with Scuba Steves and was very pleased with them. But, I've heard good things about other operators there a well. Scuba Steve's Diving Ltd.

omeinv Posted June 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2023 100% agree about West Side for Barbados. I just got word they're moving back to the Boatyard beach, which is even more convenient for cruise passengers. Peter can't pick up inside the port anymore, but will meet you at the port gate. (https://westsidescuba.com/) I've used Scuba Steve's in the past and they were fine; but I've been happier with Eastern Caribbean Diving. Either will get you a good day of diving, and there's no easier port for cruise ship to dive boat pick up, regardless of which pier your ship docks at.

oneloyaldawg Posted September 9 #5 Share Posted September 9 I did a one tank afternoon dive with Barbados Blue and had an awesome time. You dive in the bay with no current and 6 wrecks you can see on a single tank. We also saw turtles and seahorse. Very easy dive. I was a new diver and was down for an hour and came up with over 1000 psi left. I just walked out of the port and got a cab to get there. Then had the dive shop call a cab for me to get back. Heads up, bring a change of dry clothes, the cab drivers are really strict on their "no wet passengers" policy. I was mostly dry, btu because i had my swimsuit still on the first cab refused to take me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
