Your adventure starts in beautiful Barbados at the Palms Resort! The star of the Caribbean with lively calypso beats, world’s best beaches and stunning reefs.

Your flight departs Heathrow at 11:25 and it will take approximately 9 hours around 15:05 local time. On arrival you will be met by a member of our ground team and transferred to the Palms Resort Barbados, your home for the next 7 nights.

The resort is located on a picturesque sunset coast on the west side of the island and offers a tranquil atmosphere.

The Palms Resort Barbados consists of two apartment buildings, Halcyon Palm and Travellers Palm. This idyllic setting enables the resort to be the exotic holiday you had in mind’ boasting a central location close to perfect long white sandy beaches such as Paynes Bay beach, Good Shepherd beach and Sandy Lane beach as well as an array of excellent facilities. The surrounding waters are full of subaquatic delights to suit all level of divers and ensure you have a truly wonderful experience.

This is where the real underwater adventure begins! Time to explore what lies beneath the waves around Barbados.

Your package includes 5 days diving with 2 dives a day with the West Side Scuba Centre. The dive centre was established in 1993 and is situated in the Boatyard Complex near the beautiful Marine Park Carlisle Bay on the South Coast of Barbados. Carlisle Bay is home to some of the most beautiful wrecks that Barbados has to offer. This all makes for ideal diving and exciting adventures.

Barbados' reefs offer some of the richest variety of fish and coral found in the Caribbean. Shallow reefs and wrecks are ideal for the novice, while deeper reefs and wrecks will be sure to tantalize and challenge the experienced diver. For those wishing something a little less challenging we provide snorkelling trips to a shallow sunken barge and a beautiful reef abundant with marine life including schools of fish friendly enough to fed by hand. A unique snorkel and dive trip that features a close-up look at sea turtles is also available.

Barbados is not just about the diving; it has a lot of activities waiting to keep you entertained during your degas day!

Barbados is home to a great variety of watersports including surfing, sailing, paddle boarding and much more. If you want to move away from the water why not visit the one of the many white sandy beaches, the bars, restaurants and shopping’s centers on the island. Bridgetown is the port city on the island and its known for its British Colonial architecture.

If you prefer to just to kick back and relax then you can enjoy the wonderful warm sunshine of this Caribbean destination either on one of the nearby beaches or on a sunbed around the swim pool.

Pack everything, it’s time to head off to “The Spice of the Caribbean”, Grenada.

Fear not, the flight is only 55 minutes, imagine that! Flight departs from Barbados at 10:00 and arrives Grenada at 10:55 local time. Barbados and Grenada share the same timeline. On arrival you will be met by a team of our ground team and transferred the True Blue Bay Boutique Resort, your home for the next 7 nights.

True Blue Bay Resort is perched on a lush green hillside of Grenada offering guests beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea and the man-made white sandy beach next to the resort’s private dock.

There are many dive sites that you can explore, here are a few, the Underwater sculpture based on the original sculptures of British sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor. Quarter wreck, this dive is done by a larger cargo vessel, the wreck retains the propeller, the MV Veronica this wreck is festooned with colorful coral, sponges and marine life. The open hold is home to Sea horse, Moray eels and if you like frog fish, this is the perfect wreck for a night dive.

Time to explore the spectacular Grenada Island before heading back home!

There is plenty thing to do in Grenada, here I will point some of them. “Spicy Half Day”, Enjoy the breathtaking views of the old capital St. George’s and the winding route of the scenic west coast as we visit a waterfall, spice plantations and the fishing town of Gouyave. “Historic ST, Georges” travel through time and discover the hidden delights of St George’s, starting with the Kalinago, the Indians of South America, who arrived in Grenada over 1500 years ago – long before Columbus sailed to the new world and sighted Grenada.

“Rainforest Hike & Spa” get to know the interior of Grenada. Hike with us along Grand Etang rainforest’s fern covered trails, trekking down a 60 ft. descent to two of St. Margaret’s (7 falls) pristine waterfalls where a refreshing swim awaits. The crystal-clear water is home of fresh water shrimp as well as a variety of mullets – any of which may nibble at your toes! On the return hike, enjoy a cooling drink at the top of Grenada’s Grand Etang forest trail and a chance meeting with mischievous Mona monkeys, before returning to the capital of Grenada, St. George’s.

Pack your bags, sadly this diving adventure it’s about to end!

Sadly, it’s time to head back home.
