Dominica isn't your average Caribbean dive destination. It is an island of natural beauty, where a landscape of soaring peaks and deep jungle-clad valleys are mirrored below the surface in dramatic drop-offs, sheer walls and submarine canyons. Volcanic origins are evident in a seascape riddled with pinnacles, swim-throughs and bubbling fumaroles, while the nation's commitment to conservation is evident in the wealth of marine life.
Scott's Head Pinnacle Consistently listed as one of the Caribbean's top dive sites worldwide, this underwater rampart sits on the edge of a volcanic crater. Divers can explore the crater's interior faces and descend on a wall covered in gorgonians, giant barrel sponges, and whip corals.
Champagne Reef This shallow site hints at the raw volcanic power simmering just out of sight. Hidden vents spew hot water and bubbles from the seabed, creating the effect of diving in champagne. The surrounding reef is prime hunting grounds for macro life, and a favorite night dive.
Nose Reef A nose-like trio of ledges carved into a steep slope give this site its name. These ridges protrude into the currents, nurturing thriving colonies of sponges of every color and size. The sheer density of corals and sponges makes it a favorite with divers, and a gathering point for turtles and pelagics.
