The fringes
and reefs found off Barbados blossom with healthy sponges, coral and
plant life. There are several types of reefs, each one unique in its
own special way.
The barrier reefs, located 1/2 - 2 miles from shore contain large coral heads which form the habitat for thousands of beautiful fish and are perfect for snorkeling. Larger organisms are also found on these reefs, feeding on the smaller fish. The Hawksbill turtle can also be found on these reefs.
Fringes and patching reefs are found closer to shore
and have smaller coral formations and more abundant plant life then
the barrier reefs. These reefs are home to Sea Horses, Frog Fish, Giant
Sand Eels and many other marine creatures.
Wrecks form fascinating
habitats for marine life and Barbados has several excellent sites for wreck diving.
Carlisle Bay, with 200 reported wrecks, and the Stavronikita, located
at Folkestone Marine Park, are two of
the most popular sites.
Barbados
is ideal for year-round diving but is probably best in the summer months.
The visibility ranges from 40 to 70ft and the water temperature is a
consistent 80 degrees F.
There are
several dive operators who will provide equipment,
advice and guided tours to ensure that your diving experience is extremely
enjoyable!
