Dominica is an independent nation, the Commonwealth of Dominica and should not to be confused with the Dominican Republic. The incomparable and abundant natural beauties, above as well as below the surface will automatically embrace you. Dominica lies between Guadeloupe and Martinique, shooting almost straight up from the sea, the near 5000 foot mountain peaks are an awe-inspiring sight against the skyline. You can scuba dive in the mornings and hike or even go whale watching in the afternoon. Where else can you find all this . . .. Dominica!

The reefs of Dominica hold surprises for even the most seasoned diver. Frogfish, Seahorses, Flying Gurnards, Snake Eels - these rare creatures become almost daily encounters.
Mix this with seamounts, pinnacles, vertical walls and coral reefs every bit as lush and exciting as any on the planet. The result? Some of the very finest Scuba diving you will ever experience. This is the final frontier of Caribbean diving, an underwater realm unsullied and unaltered - the real Caribbean!
