As one of the top ten diving destinations in the world, Dominica has so much to offer divers of any experience level. There are calm shallows to explore, where curious seahorses cling to coral branches.
Deeper waters make home for over 20 species of whales that frequent these seas. Fantastic wall dives and unique crevices are waiting to be explore. La Sorciere, also known as L’Abym, is one of the most popular wall dives, where divers can peruse easily, as there is little to no current. Make your way along the volcanic ridge of Crater’s Edge, where barracuda stalk their prey and large schools of tuna and snapper make appearances.
Thermal springs erupt around the island, including underwater where volcanic bubbles and warm water emanate from certain sites.
With rugged pinnacles, drop-offs, abyss depths and more just waiting to be discovered, the Caribbean’s ‘Nature Island’ waters are a paradise for divers and best experienced via Fort Young Hotel’s Dive Operation. Dominica has long been a treasured dive destination and Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort, with its prime location in the country’s capital city of Roseau along the shores of the Caribbean Sea, has played host to dive travelers from around the world for more than a decade.

Before going on your first boat dive you will receive a mandatory dive orientation in which you will fill out the necessary paperwork but also receive all the information that is needed to have a pleasant week of diving. Afterwards, a check-out dive in front of the dive shop will make sure you and your equipment are in sync.
