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.

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.
