An Unforgettable Scuba Diving Experience in Barbados with Edwin at High Tide Diving If you're planning to scuba dive in Barbados, do not miss the opportunity to dive with Edwin at High Tide Diving. I recently had the absolute pleasure of exploring the underwater world such as Carlisle Bay and The Deck Reef— my favoritesand it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived at High Tide Diving, we were greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a clear passion for the ocean. Edwin, our dive guide, was exceptional. Not only is he deeply knowledgeable and experienced, but his calm, friendly demeanor immediately put everyone at ease, regardless of their skill level. Carlisle Bay is a diver’s dream. The crystal-clear waters revealed a vibrant world below, with several shipwrecks that were both haunting and beautiful to explore. The wrecks are teeming with marine life—turtles, rays, barracudas, and colorful reef fish surrounded us at every turn. Edwin guided us seamlessly from one wreck to the next, pointing out hidden creatures and local marine history. Another dive was The Deck Reef equally mesmerizing. This lesser-known spot is a hidden gem. The coral formations are healthy and thriving, and the biodiversity was incredible. It felt like swimming through a living postcard. So much life to see I wasn't sure where to look first. Again, Edwin’s knowledge of the reef and its inhabitants brought the dive to life in a way that made it truly unforgettable. Safety was clearly a top priority throughout the trip. Briefings were thorough but relaxed, equipment was in excellent condition, and the entire team made sure every diver felt comfortable and confident. I can't recommend High Tide Diving—and Edwin in particular—highly enough. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced diver, this is the kind of dive experience that will stay with you long after you've rinsed off your gear. A perfect blend of adventure, beauty, and Bajan hospitality. Five stars all the way. Will hopefully be back! Soon.

We had a fab afternoon doing a refresher and a boat dive. Sim was knowledgeable, meticulous, very friendly and reassuring. We dived on Fisherman’s feed from the boat and saw a massive variety of colourful marine life. Def a great experience and very well organised

Cannot give this place enough stars! We came with a group and the Hightide team helped us organize a full week of diving. We reached out in advance so we could communicate the number of divers and our certification levels. They even helped coordinate a surprise party on one of the dives. We felt so welcome and at home with these amazing people. Pros: Well maintained equipment Safety oriented dive practice with conservative, well trained guides Highly knowledgeable about local sites and currents Wide variety of dive options from deep and shallow wrecks to seahorse seeking and night diving Friendly staff Helped arrange transportation for us each day, including coordinating with our hotel Great value for the service Cons Honestly the only downside is not knowing how long it will be until I can dive here again

We had a nice 1 hour dive in the fall of 2024. Edwin promised me a tee shirt and dive cap from "Hightide " when he "replenishes his inventory in the winter". I prepaid him $75 for this request. I am still waiting 9 months later. Hopefully he will read this and send them to me. Otherwise it was a good experience,

Exactly as advertised. Perfect dive shop right on the beach: great dive masters, high quality gear, good mix of dive options, convenient to West Coast. Edwin, Sim and Lennie took great care of us and our kids, taking them through their final certification dives.
