Whether you wish to become a certified diver or extend your education, Fort Young Dive’s professional dive instructors have the perfect course for you. Dominica’s marine environment—with little to no current, great visibility and shallow reef drop-offs—makes the island an ideal place for any level of student to learn or improve their diving skills. Below, take a peek at our course options with Fort Young Dive and get ready to witness the eye-opening wonder of down under in Dominica.
