Folkestone Marine Park

No reviews yetBarbados, Caribbean

There is a good reef system there and one wreck. Depth is not that deep so you can get bottom times. Lots of animal life from turtles to snake eels. These are very skinny eels that are mostly grey with spots and are not dangerous. The marine park is on the West side of the island about half way up the island. It is just a couple of miles North of Holetown. You go past the Sandy Lane Golf course, the Sunset Mall and then the West Coast Mall. There are small strip malls. The entrance to the park is marked by a very small sign on the left side of the road. If you go by St James Church, you have gone to far.

After being sunk on November 22, 1978 as an artificial reef, the Stavronikita has become a popular dive site in Barbados. She has lots of marine life and years of marine growth. Her propeller is very common among divers (even at 130ft.) Northwest of Bridgetown. Located about 400 yards from the shore off the west coast of Barbados near Prospect, St. James. SS Stavronikita is also known as Stav.

Pamir

No reviews yetBarbados

The Pamir is a beautiful wreck of Barbados with much coral growth. It's being "transformed" into a piece of beauty. Fish are plentiful in groups as well as in isolation. The Pamir is accessible by boat since it's located a little to far off the shores.
