Volcanic Dive Adventure
Where we are diving
Just 400 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico and situated between the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique lies Dominica. The island is of volcanic formation and has mountain ranges that span from one end of the island to the other. The jungle typography will blow you away.
Below ground, you will find some of the healthiest reef systems in the Caribbean. The waters are calm and are home to a diverse set of landscapes that feature fumaroles, high walls and natural hot springs.
Dominica is one of the few places in the world where you can swim with sperm whales. And if you’re lucky you’ll spot seahorses, turtles and dolphins.
Some of the most popular dive sites include Champagne Reef and L’Abym. Champagne Reef is a great place to experience volcanic activity including warm bubbling waters. At L’Abym stand a steep wall and submerged volcanic crater.

Top reasons you should travel with us to Dominica!
1. Healthy reef systems- unlike many Caribbean islands, Dominica isn’t sprawling with crowded tourist beaches and divers don’t frequent as often as other islands.
2. Environmentally friendly- Dominica recently banned all single-use plastics from the island and has become more self-sufficient by developing their own geothermal energy sources.
3. Swim with sperm whales- There is a group of sperm whales that live off the shores of Dominica all year long, and they stay pretty close to the surface giving you a great opportunity to see them.
