Memories - Barbados Island Adventures with Rex

Rex Wotton managed the West Coast Watersports shop at Coral Reef hotel. It was just a short walk from Settlers Beach. The shop took hotel guest diving and on daytime and sunset cruises around the coast. He was an expert seaman trained by the Royal Merchant Navy in all matters of navigation, and marine work.
