Guest Comments

"I loved the small groups. I felt like a VIP all week--like I had my own private divemaster."

 

"We had a wonderful time... My family and I have been to many resorts in the Caribbean, and I must tell you that Barefoot Cay is now at the top of my list."

 

"Just a quick note to thank you again for showing us the diversity of dives from one end of the island to the other. We've never experienced such great service, it's more than valet diving, its "Concierge" diving, because you interact with the customers, listen to their wishes, then fulfill them. Just terrific!"

 

"Whether it is your first dive or you are a seasoned diver – they [Barefoot Divers] are a great group for your dive excursion. They are very attentive, safety conscious, flexible, friendly, and fun."
