Scuba Diving Holidays In Barbados If you're looking for warm seas and year-round sunshine, travel to Barbados for some excellent diving featuring a myriad of reef fish, turtles and sponges. Country Description Barbados is unique due to the fact that it is made up of two landmasses that have merged together over the years. It is also remarkably young, clocking in at only one million years old, however it has been inhabited since around 1625BC. Diving Description The Island is ideal for year round diving, however the best time to go is during the summer months. Diving the reefs off Barbados promises healthy coral, sponges and marine life all in waters, which remain a constant temperature of 27 degrees C. There are numerous kinds of reef here. The barrier reefs can be found 2-4km from the shore. They feature thousands of reef fish that have inhabited the huge coral heads. Naturally these smaller fish attract larger fish looking for food too. Hawksbill turtles are also regular visitors. Carlisle Bay The site of a number of wrecks, including the Berwyn, Eilon, C-Trek and Fox, where frogfish, eels, seahorses and tropical fish abound. An idea site for beginners. The SS Stavronikita A 111-metre Greek freighter, sunk deliberately to a depth of 36m (with the stern lying at 30m and the bow at 21m) to form an artificial reef.
