May 1999 I actually dived Barbados back in 1989 but the drop downs did go that far. Very beautiful island. The Mount Gay rum was good too.

Bajan Queen
Ranked as OK by independant reviews Ranked as OK by independant reviews
The newest Barbados wreck is the Bajan Queen, an old party boat which was only sunk in 2002. A good place for new wreck divers to start exploring.
15m / 49ft
20m / 66ft
Deliberately sunk: 19-May-2002 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving.
Diver reviews for Bajan Queen:
Can be penetrated easily

If you get a sunny crystal clear water Day in Carlisle bay it is as though you are watching yourself dive and the Bajan Queen only ads to the enjoyment , through the engine room and up the spiral staircase it's a great first wreck dive and a good nightdive. Get Rogers scuba shack at the boatyard to take you.

I got local Richard to film my dive in Carlisle Bay. He has an awesome camera and films in HDV - not expensive but the film was amazing. Get him to film your dive - contact stow600572@yahoo.com

well worth seeing. Though you have to be a deep certified diver to see the best bits. Penetration is possible, as you fin through the cabins and up staircases. The mast is pretty spectacular with various sponges and turtles common- this makes a great safety stop!!!!

Penetration is no longer possible as the wreck is falling down. Suitable for all so long as depth is not an issue as the deck is 25-30m, the sea bed 35-40m.
