Barbados
Visiting
mariners have for years commented on
the vibrancy of the "blue"
waters surrounding Barbados.
Barbados,
the most easterly island in the Caribbean
archipelago is unlike many of the other
islands in the Caribbean, which are
volcanic. Barbados itself is an ancient
coral reef with over 85% of its surface
comprised of limestone. This phenomenon
explains why Barbados' topography below
and above the surface is relatively
moderate, and why shallow reefs can
be found far offshore.
Barbados' limestone base, white coralline
sand, clear oceanic waters, and its
location at N13° 10 W59° 32,
affects the wavelength of the light
reflected. This gives us something unique,
a colour, a feeling…Barbados Blue!
