Divi Southwinds sailing - an unique experience
Catamaran lunch cruises are offered by Tall Ships (tel. 246/430-0900), located at Shallow Draught near Bridgetown Harbour. The 4-hour-long catamaran lunch cruises are offered daily from 10am. Part cruise ship, part nightclub, the MV Harbour Master Blockbuster is a 30m (98-ft.), three-story vessel with theme decks, a modern galley, and two bars. It boasts a dance floor, and also offers formal buffets on its Calypso Deck. On the Harbour Master Deck, there's a bank of TVs for sports buffs. The showpiece of the vessel is an onboard semisubmersible, which is lowered hydraulically to 2m (6 1/2 ft.) beneath the ship. This is, in effect, a "boat in a boat," with 30 seats. Lunch and dinner cruises cost BD$130 (US$65) and BD$140 (US$70) per person; the semisubmersible experience costs another BD$20 (US$10). You no longer have to be an experienced diver to see what lives 45m (148 ft.) below the surface of the sea; you can simply sail aboard one of the vessels operated by Atlantis Submarines, Shallow Draught, Bridgetown. The air-conditioned sightseeing submarines seat 28 to 48 passengers and make several dives daily from 9am to 1pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Wednesday. Passengers are transported aboard a ferryboat from the Carenage in downtown Bridgetown to the submarine site, about 2km (1 1/4 miles) from the west coast of Barbados. The ride offers a view of the west coast of the island. The submarine, Atlantic III, features viewing ports that allow you to see a rainbow of colors, tropical fish, plants, and even a shipwreck that lies upright and intact below the surface. The cost is BD$165 (US$83) for adults, BD$80 (US$40) for children. In addition, you can take a tour aboard a Rhino Rider, an inflatable motorized craft that goes up the West Coast on a tour lasting 2 hours for BD$144 (US$73). There's a 30-minute stop for a snorkeling adventure at a nearby shipwreck where you can feed the fish, and also a beach stop. The cost is BD$44 (US$22) for adults and BD$80 (US$40) for children age 6 to 12. No children under .9m (3 ft.) tall permitted. Tours are run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9am to 1pm, and on Wednesday from 9am to 4pm.
