I copied this from www.Barbados.com
Entry requirements
US and Canadian citizens are not required to present a passport but will need to show a proof of citizenship (Birth certificate and a photo i.d.) along with their return airline ticket or continuation to another island.
Departure tax: $25.00 Bajun Dollars per person

A passport works, too - especially for getting one back into the USA. Also check with the airlines to determine their ID/citizenship requirements.
I don't understand why anyone who travels internationally doesn't travel with a passport.

Thanks Natasha for the link. I have been to Cozumel twice and love above and below the surface, what was your thoughts on Barbados because we are seriously considering going this year?

I visit Barbados every November and would strongly urge you enter the country with a passport. I realize a passport isn't a strict requirement for Canadians entering Barbados, but some of their customs agents appear to be unaware of this!!

A guy after my own heart. I love Barbados. I had planned to go down to my time-share (even was taking a few friends this time), but when we inquired about the airfare OUCH - a bit high for all of us who have already committed fund to other trips. It will wait until next year.
I can recommend dive shops, tours, restaurants, and things to do.... drop a PM and I'll give you info on my favourites (can even share some of my u/w pics if you're interested).
Need more friends to come along?? I would be happy to carry your camera for you!! You guys have gotten my interest up and I know nothing about the place. How does Barbados compair to the Bahamas and Bonaire? Lots of pesky street vendors like Freeport, Bahama? Or are you taking your life in your own hands like Jamacia? How about the cost of food and is it safe to drink the water? ...Just what I need, another place I want to go.

The ship I was on last contract went there once a week. I enjoyed diving there....the visibility wasn't stupendous (wasnt bad .but compared to some other islands, it wasnt amazing), but I hear it gets better seasonally (don't know when the best time is though, we were there in late spring at the end of their season). There's some fun wrecks...the biggest one being the Stavornikita <sp?>...it's a big Russian freighter....very cool!
I like the island in general, didn't feel near as harrassed as I do on some islands. Often walked around by myself with no issues, drank the water, enjoyed the restaurants....which are pretty reasonably priced. Their one thing that is unusual is that you can't wear camouflage (or any military style clothing) at all.....the Police will stop you, no kidding. We had notices posted all over the crew bulletin boards about this....they weren't playing.
Peace,
Cathie
