Dominica, also known as ‘The Nature Island’, is a paradise for scuba diving lovers. Unspoiled and unforgettable, the seascape surrounding the island is as breathtaking as its towering mountains bathed in tropical mists. The water is clear, the marine life varied and the weather warm enough to spend an entire day in the sea.
The waters here are so good in fact that Dominica is the only country in the world where a pod of mighty sperm whale resides year-round! On dedicated whale-watching trips, sightings of these majestic creatures are common, along with dolphin pods, humpback and killer whales.
There are dive sites all along Dominica’s west coast, many of which reflect the steep and dramatic topography topside, with steep drop-offs, walls, and volcanic pinnacles. With the incredible abundance of wildlife, Dominica will truly be one of your most enjoyable dives in the Caribbean.
SPECIAL OFFER
Discover Dominica have teamed up with Dive Worldwide to offer one lucky traveller £500 off their next diving trip to the island! Simply answer the question correctly here to win: https://bit.ly/3bsOB5Q
