Any day you may be joined by at least 100 persons in the water from other vessels.

This wreck was sunk over ten years ago to encourage local marine life. Fishing is prohibited.
Folkestone Underwater Park is an area cordoned off for snorkelling, swimming and diving.
In this area fishing is prohibited. The coral reefs abound with tropical fish and a variety of coral.

Catamaran Rental
Rental: US 75.00/hr
You have come to the best place when you selected Barbados as your holiday destination.
Here, we promise you more than a tour. Sailing on our calm Caribbean sea on the Shamon, you will be flabbergasted at the variety of tropical fish and coral formations you can see through the glass in the bottom of the boat. The coral reefs are swamped by a rainbow of tropical fish, giant sponges, sea fans,sea urchins and different coloured corals. This trip is a must, as the coral formations abound close to the shoreline in the crystal clear waters. Barbados is unique in the eastern Caribbean chain of island, as we are not volcanic in origin, but of a coral based formation. The coastline is dotted by many villages, encased in lush tropical trees. Many villas hug the coastline, with their beauty evident in the fine architecture. They are designed to fit atop the limestone cliffs. These luxury homes are vacation homes to the rich and famous who visit our shores on a monthly basis. Land on this coast is now fetching millions of US dollars on the international real estate market, giving credence to the term 'gold coast'. Complementing the scenery are the luxury hotels along the West Coast. Here many visitors feel they have arrived at a home away from home, as they are impressed by the warm hospitality of those with whom they come in contact.
