Hi Scuba Divers,

I just wanted to say hello... I'm new to this board as well as scuba. I'm excited to find an online community to share my passion for the seas. I want to thank you in advance for your good advice and valuable support!

I've just completed scuba certification and I'm going to Barbados to do my check out dives and get Open Water certification. I would love to hear some recommendations for diving Barbados!

Best,

Nancella
Brooklyn, NYC
