Snorkeling and/vs. scuba

[parasailor]

I am a novice diver and experienced snorkeler. I welcome suggestions for tour operators in both areas in Barbados and whether this is a good snorkeling/diving island or one where other activities are more interesting.

 

thanks

I found the diving and snorkeling in Barbados to be not to bad. It's not the best, but not the worst either.

 

There are some decent wrecks you can dive, either at Folkstone or Carlisle Bay.

 

There are several tour companies that offer "snorkeling with turtles" excursions.

 

You can also contact dive shops like Barbados Blue or Roger's Scuba Shack and see what they offer.

 

I dove with my kids 3 years ago through Blue in Carlisle Bay over a couple of wrecks - it was pretty good.

 

Cheers, P:)
