Barbados

With over 20 miles of barrier reef reaching to within 40 to 60 feet of the surface as well as 9 frequently dived wrecks, Barbados is beginning to take its diving tourism seriously. So should you.

The presence of the main recompression chamber for the region attests to a commitment to safety and the local dive operator association (PADO) has recently set new safety standards—see the full chapter for current PADO membership.
