We had no problems with any of the flights and took a taxi to the hotel. We found out that the hotel (The Time Out hotel at St. Lawrence Gap) was not the most luxurious... But who stays at the hotel when you are on vacation? I'm there to scuba dive and see the island. The hotel had a very good location being just across from Dover beach and close to restaurants and bars in St. Lawrence Gap.
I had searched the web for dive reports and found just a handful - very few people seem to have dived in Barbados (and reported about it...). I asked at Rodale's Diver2Diver message forum and got a recommendation for HighTide Ltd. That happened to be the diveshop I could book through Expedia.com and since I didn't find anything better online, I booked 7 dives with them. We did two morning dives Monday and Tuesday and then three dives on Wednesday, my birthday. That included the famous SS. Stavronikita wreck.
