Free Dive Experience
Get ready for an unparalleled adventure with our Free Diving Experience led by René Daniella, the renowned Free Diving Princess. Dive into the world of free diving over two thrilling days, guided by certified experts native to Barbados. Explore both land and water, savor local cuisine, cruise the stunning coastlines on a luxurious yacht, discover Barbados’ geological secrets, enjoy a rum experience, and embark on thrilling activities. This is more than a vacation; it’s a life-changing odyssey, so dive in and create lasting memories.
Our destination, Barbados, the 21-by-14-mile Caribbean paradise that embodies crystal blue waters, fine powdery sand, brilliant turquoise bays and smashing nightlife, is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean as the easternmost island of the Lesser Antilles in the West Indies. Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, is the epicenter, with its eclectic mix of rag-tag, shanty-style vendors hawking everything from homegrown vegetables, fruits, underwear, toiletries, cleaning products, clothes, and purses.
The Barbados Free Diving Experience is more than just a blend of diving and sightseeing; it’s a unique opportunity for you to become a certified free diver while immersing yourself in the rich culture of this island nation. Just like our previous BGTT travelers, free divers share a common desire—to explore new and diverse parts of the world, creating an even more enticing experience.
While exploring Barbados, you’ll discover its hidden treasures, immerse yourself in its vibrant culture, and make a meaningful difference by supporting local black-owned businesses. Your journey isn’t solely about becoming a free diver; it’s a path towards leaving a positive mark and forming lasting connections.
