Experience this fun story of an authentic rogue who is an adventurer at heart and an all-around sport with an over-developed spirit of fun. Rex Wotton ran the West Coast Watersports shop at Coral Reef hotel, just up the beach from Settlers Beach. They 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. Rex Wotton was one of the most unforgettable Rogues of Barbados. He had an infectious sense of fun and used it to win over every situation.
When walking out of the water at Settlers Beach Villa Beach Hotel, in full scuba gear, wetsuit, and tank, Rex looked like a James Bond character on a mission. He had a six-inch dagger secured to his foreleg and carried sticks of dynamite . His quest was to plant explosives along the reefs, set to blow when he was safely on land. It was a government-approved job to clear a swimming area for visitors. The blast shook the buildings just minutes after he was on land. "Oh!" he giggled, just a little perturbed," Possibly a stick too much dynamite on that one."
