Dive Sites That Dreams Are Made Of

Let’s explore some of Dominica’s most captivating underwater sites:

Scott’s Head Pinnacle

Recognized as one of the world’s top dive sites by Scuba Travel UK, Scott’s Head offers an extraordinary experience of swimming through a volcanic crater wall. Witness massive gorgonians, barrel sponges, and regular visits from pelagic species like horse-eye jacks and barracudas.

Champagne Reef

Dive into nature’s own jacuzzi at Champagne Reef. This unique site features underwater hot springs that release streams of warming bubbles (hence its fitting name). While enjoying your “champagne bath,” keep an eye out for seahorses, frogfish, and curious reef squid.

Nose Reef

Three magnificent ledges create an underwater amphitheater of marine life, with depths ranging from 40 to 120 feet. The current-swept location hosts a stunning array of colorful sponges and serves as a gathering point for sea turtles and pelagic fish.

Pole to Pole

Experience the mysterious beauty of night diving at its finest beneath the Cabrits Cruise ship jetty. This unique site hosts a variety of fascinating creatures, from delicate seahorses to curious batfish, making it perfect for photographers and marine life enthusiasts alike.

More Than Just Diving

At Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort, we’re committed to marine conservation through our Shore Diving Project. This initiative not only creates an engaging shore dive environment but also educates guests about coral reef protection and ecosystem preservation. Dive with us and become part of the solution for our oceans’ future.
