Christmas in Barbados

[fishn4life]

Thanks for the tips, right now we're set up with Eco dive, we will definitely be eating @ oistins and now the Gap burger stand. You said you dove the Stavronikita twice, is that a dive a new diver can do? My wife is brand new and she would love to dive a wreck. I'll post some pics on return....

Fish

The Stav is a deep dive, the deck is about 100ft and the prop around 140ft. The last time we did it you could swim through the hold into the covered area and do a breath assent up a spiral staircase into the main cabin. Then a slow ascent up the mast which stopped at 18ft.

Great dive but IMHO an advanced dive.

I agree with Bosun due to current and depth the Stav is an advanced dive. The wrecks in Carlisle Bay are shallow and have great coral growth and tons of wildlife, usually where they take the intro to scuba divers as it is only about 45ft to the sand and certified divers can penetrate a couple of them. I like them.

I did 4 dives last month in Barbados. The Stav and Carlisle Bay were the better dives, and I would give the edge to Carlisle Bay -- my GF says elsewise because of lower vis there, but we did see a large ray, a frog fish, and more fish there than on the other dives. A couple of reef drift dives, one south of Carlisle and one just south of Holetown, were fine, but nothing memorable. There was almost no current the day we did the Stav, but I know that that varies.
