OUR BLOG

 

The instructors at Barefoot Scuba are a bunch of people who live and breathe scuba (pun intended). When we are not diving, we talk about diving, we read about the amazing marine life, we scroll through underwater photos and videos on Instagram, we sit and edit our own underwater photos and videos, and some of us even unconsciously dream about diving while sleeping. Because scuba diving makes such a significant part of our lives, we have loads of stories and information to share with you. Read the blog posts written by various members of our staff and some guests as well.

DIVING ON A RAINY DAY
