A high volcanic island covered with lush, green rain forests, Dominica has hundreds of waterfalls and rivers and two boiling lakes. If you’re in search of a holiday that provides interface with pure nature both above and below the water, Dominica is the place. Tucked down into the bottom of the Caribbean, Dominica is a stunning island just off the beaten path. Rare creatures abound, which remained uninhabited for millennia. You can spot the Sisserou parrot, the country’s national bird, only on the island of Dominica. Rainforests and mountains dominate the landscape, the ideal stopping point for birds on the wing.
Termed the Nature Isle, Dominica is the Caribbean of the past, not only in its down-home appeal but with diving that feels like it’s been preserved for future generations. As one of the top ten diving destinations in the earth, Dominica has so much to offer divers of any experience level. There are serene shallows to explore, where snooping seahorses stick to coral branches. Deeper waters make a home for more than 20 species of whales that common these seas. The sharp, pointy peaks on land make their way into the water, offering scuba divers extraordinary wall dives and exceptional crevices to explore. La Sorciere, also known as L’Abym, is one of the most popular wall dives, where divers can peruse easily, as there is little to no current.
