Over the past few years, Dominica has earned the reputation as one of the top five dive destinations in the world. In addition to unique dive sites like "Champagne" which features a bubbling, underwater hot spring, Dominica's reefs are full of gorgeous multi-coloured hard and soft coral, an abundance of reef fish and fascinating marine critters such as seahorses and frogfish. The underwater terrain is unique and diverse, providing dive sites suitable for all skill levels, from beginner to the very experienced.

Dominica has recently been called the Whale Watching Capital of the Caribbean. Its unique underwater terrain and coastal structure make Dominica an ideal environment to watch Sperm Whales socialize, mate and calve, as well as to see many other types of whales: Pilot, Pygmy, and False Killer to name a few. Spinner Dolphin, Spotted Dolphin and Bottlenose Dolphin are also regular residents of our waters. Chances of seeing these fantastic creatures on a whale watching trip in Dominica are excellent. Our tour operators have achieved an outstanding success rate: on average whales or dolphins are seen on 90% of the excursions.
