In Carlisle bay it is relatively easy to see 3 wrecks in one dive. The anchor in this image I think came from the Berwyn, a tug boat sunk by its crew because they did not want to leave Barbados. I can understand why they did not want to leave. Eco dive does a great job helping to preserve the underwater environment.

The SS Stavronikita is the wreck of a 365ft Greek freighter which ran in to trouble off the coast of Barbados in 1976. The ship caught fire and was severely damaged. It was towed into the port of Bridgetown where she sat for almost two years.
In 1978 The Greek Government disowned her, so the Barbados government decided to deploy the ship as an artificial reef in the calm tranquil waters of the west coast, just off of Fitts Village in the Parish of St James. The shipwreck lies bolt upright with her bow facing East and the prop is at 40m/130ft. The top of the mast is at 6m/20ft. The house and main deck are to be found at 24m/80ft. The huge forward and aft cargo holds, and the cabins, stairways and engine rooms can be penetrated. This dive is rated as one of the best wreck dives in the Caribbean. Hightide Watersports visit this site approx 3 times a week.

I have been to Barbados before and it really depends on where on the island
you want to dive. If you want to dive the North of the Island I can suggest
'Reefers & Wreckers'. The two guys who run that are called Mike and Philip.

If you want to dive the more popular South then there is a huge choice but I
have booked some diving with the BSAC dive shop there click here the
guy is called John Moore. If you prefer a PADI dive shop then try
click here and the guy to speak to there is Willie Hewitt

There is a BSAC club on the island and they have club dives every Sunday and
sometimes combine there dives with BADASS (Barbados American Divers
Association). The best person to contact regarding the BSAC Club is - Rob
Bateson (is click here to email )

If your into you're wrecks then you must do…
