  • How do you pick which dive operation wins your money for your scuba diving vacation? If you only get to dive on vacation, you want to make sure you're getting your money's worth and getting experiences you enjoy. That's why we are giving you our easy 5-step process for filtering out dive centers and narrowing down your selection to find the scuba team you want to be diving with!
    In this example-driven video, we are showing you our procedure for how we pick our scuba dive operator. In this case, I use the island of Barbados, as I’ve actually never been scuba diving there.
    ALSO! We hit 1000+ Subscribers! THANK YOU so much to EVERYONE who is a part of this great community. We promise we have so much more planned for this channel. We’re going to keep spreading information and positivity to the Scuba Divers around the world! IMPROVE. INSPIRE. EXPLORE.
    ALSO! Hitting 1000+ Subscribers means it’s time to announce the winner of the copy of ‘An American Immersion’ by Jennifer Idol. If you haven’t seen ‘An American Diver’ yet, you should absolutely check it out:

    I'm a major contributor on trip advisor and google maps and I strive to always provide an accurate review of places I've been too and when possible providing pictures. The thing that a trip advisor user must watch out for are "FAKE" or "PAID" reviews and most of us can spot these. You provided some great advice on picking dive shops, I'm going to Barbados in November for one day and will see if I can arrange a dive while I.m there

    I normally use ScubaBoard as a good starting point for suggested centers anywhere, and then use Trip Advisor for my next round of narrowing down. Like you mentioned, the photos are a key part of this step. Also the number of reviews can be helpful. Finally, I email them to get answers to specific questions. The last time I went through this process was for a trip to Grenada, and the dive center which won was actually the sister shop of Barbados Blue, ECO Dive Grenada. Same owners and the staff go back and forth between the two. I'm glad to hear my process led to the same business as you ended up with.

    I was in Barbados a month ago and thought it was too expensive; a one tank dive there costs as much as a two tank dive back home 😭. I'll need to save more money. I did walk into the Barbados Blue shop, however. Great video!

    Another thing to consider is how they take care of their local environment. For example do they use solar or wind power to run their compressors rather than burning dinosaurs bones.

  • @TheRedbaron11

    Great advice. I have actually used the locations filter in google maps and trip advisor reviews/pictures. I had generally checked for the 1 star reviews for big red flags and also how the owners respond to those.

    Great video. Could you make one about picking dive sites? Or one about your favorite dive sites in south east Florida (I think I've heard you mention you're in south Florida)? I'll be heading there in Feb. and will be diving various sites from Fort Lauderdale to Key Largo and would like to avoid disappointing dive sites.
