Comments	A very positive dive experience. My hotel stay was with my wife and a group of friends (all non divers) at an all inclusive Resort called SugarBay. Took a taxi to Barbados Blue Dive Center, which is located at the Hilton Hotel Complex; Barbados Blue is behind the Security Booth. (A 5-10 minute drive from the hotel) Dive date 09-22-22, Arrived at 9:00am, did not bring my own equipment besides my dive computer, mask fins, snorkel. Dive shop supplied a 3mm shorty, tank, regs, bcd, weights. Headed out on their boat at 9:45 to the Stavonkita (They call it the Stav) with a max dive depth of 94ft. It was approximately 145ft to the sand. Second dive was in Carlise Bay at 50ft., I believe the wreck was the Eillon, which had a fun swim through. Not a lot of life but may be due to the time of year, and the wrecks were the main attraction. Overall very satisfied, the dive operators were excellent, professional, and most importantly nice.
