Discover Dominica Releases New Video
Discover Dominica Authority launched a new dive video during the recent Long Beach Scuba Show in Southern California. The video was shot a few months after hurricane Maria, and it features great underwater footage of vibrant, healthy and colorful reefs. While some of the shallow reefs above 40 feet suffered damage, many of those below 40 feet remained intact, as many of Dominica’s dive sites were protected by their deep waters.
“We are excited about the new dive video, which displays the thriving dive product currently available in Dominica and which complements our other dive marketing initiatives to assist the destination to increase dive awareness”, says Discover Dominica CEO, Colin Piper.
The dive product in Dominica continues to be one of the island’s unique selling points as it provides great diving experiences which have resulted in several accolades for the destination.
The annual dive festival, Dive Fest 2018, is scheduled for July 6 -15, 2018. The Dominica Watersport Association has compiled a cadre of ocean-based activities which will provide another great year of dive fest fun, frolic and underwater experiences. Activities include water park adventure; whale watching; clean up underwater dives and the ever popular discover scuba on the beach and Kubuli family fun day. Divers are welcome to visit and join the fun as part of the ReDiscover Dominica Dive effort.
Dive Voluntourism has also been heavily promoted during the past months with Cabrits Dive launching a Dive Voluntourism package inviting divers to visit Dominica to assist with reef clean up shortly after the passage of the hurricane. Currently seven dive operators are operational and opened for business while others continue to work towards reopening and enhancing their product offering.
Now is the time to ReDiscover Dominica’s amazing dive experiences!

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
