Consett Bay

Consett Bay is one of the best dive sites in Barbados. This diving site is only accessible during the summer months when the seas are calm. Few divers get this opportunity, so we're utilizing one day of Dive Fest Barbados to give you a chance to dive on the wild side! Because the east coast of Barbados does not receive much diving attention, we will also be carrying lionfish spears. There are many hard corals and tunnels to explore on the east coast coral formations. There have also been reports of shark sightings!

When the seas are quiet and the weather is fine, divers can leave Barbados' protected Caribbean side and travel to Consett Bay on the Atlantic east coast. The waters here, in contrast to the more colorful, tropical west side, are densely packed with massive coral formations, tunnels, and swim-throughs. The Atlantic Ocean also brings the possibility of seeing sharks, which are not well recognized in Barbados but do visit the island.

Things to see: Sharks! Large pelagics like jacks and king trevally may also pass you by in the blue water if you're lucky.
