Carlisle Bay

Carlisle Bay is a sheltered, natural harbor located in the southwest corner of Barbados, immediately adjacent to the capital of Bridgetown. The bay, which is the site of the Carlisle Bay Marine Park, is one of the most popular diving and snorkeling spots in the country. Most of the dive and snorkel sites in Carlisle Bay, with the exception of the bank reef, Brianna H and Trident, can easily be reached by swimming from Brownes Beach. The Marine Park has something for every level of experience, whether diver or snorkeler. The site has a total of six wrecks, as well as the remains of an old jetty and several large anchors and cannons. All of the sites support a great deal of marine life and are incredibly entertaining to explore.
