Point Break, on the island's northern tip, where the Caribbean and the Atlantic collide, is an interesting site that offers the opportunity to see a lot of big fish. This site is full of thrills and adventure, just like the action movie! You can expect strong currents to rush through because you're on Dominica's most northerly point and the wall and underwater landscapes are worth seeing. Diving experience in the intermediate and higher levels is required.

The Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean collide, bringing with them choppy waters and large schools of jacks, tuna, and barracuda. Point Break begins at 30 feet/10 meters and ends at 120 feet/40 meters as it drifts over to Capucin Point in the Atlantic. You'll travel through some arches in the second half of the dive, with some rays pointing the way home if you're lucky. This is definitely one of the best dive sites in Dominica.

• Depth: 30ft/10m-120ft/40m
• Location: Northern tip of Dominica

Toucari Caves, one of Dominica's most unique dive sites is located on the north side of the island. Three shallow swim-throughs filled with bigeyes cardinalfish and other low-light fish highlight Toucari. Toucari Caves is a small system of caverns, arches, and swim-throughs that is probably the best dive in North Dominica. It can be enjoyed by all, as it is located just offshore and ranges in depth from 10-80ft.

Toucari Caves is a must-dive for all divers, with incredible healthy reefs, a beautiful cave, coral archways to swim under, bubbles rising from the reef floor, and fish everywhere. Hundreds of crinoids and sponges create a vibrantly colored underwater landscape. Huge barrel sponges abound, and walls of incredibly dense deep-water sea fans frequently conceal shy seahorses. The ceilings of these intricate rock formations are encrusted with dazzling colourful corals and thousands of soldierfish whilst shrimp eyes shine like gold coins in your dive light. Keep your arms in to avoid some accidental scrapes. Often spotted in the open are grazing turtles and barracuda hoping to snag some rogue reef fish.

• Depth: 10-80ft (3-27m)
• Location: North side of Dominica

Champagne Reef, a few miles south of Roseau, is probably the most well-known of Dominica's dive sites. The name Champagne Reef comes from the bubbles produced by the underwater hot springs. The dive usually begins with a circuit around Champagne reef, followed by a safety stop to explore the hot springs and bubbles. The variety of life is astounding, especially given the warm water temperature in the shallows. So, what is the significance of the name Champagne Reef? During the end and beginning of your dive, you will be surrounded by champagne of warm bubbles as volcanic gases vent through small fissures in the hard-rock coral. It's like taking a bubble bath!

This is a dive for all levels; the water is calm and the currents are usually light. Seahorses and frogfish are common, and flying gurnards can be seen flying over the shallow sandy areas. Squid are frequently seen inshore, close to the bubbles. The site also makes an excellent night dive when the reef comes alive with life: massive crabs and lobsters are common sightings.

Scotts Head Pinnacle is one of the most well-known dive sites on the island. Divers frequently request return visits to this location. The dive begins on Swiss Cheese, a large rock formation that is home to the famous Soldierfish Cave. This swim-through, which is not technically a cave, is usually teeming with soldier fish and grunts that form a curtain in front of you, briefly parting to swallow you into the school as you pass through.

The Pinnacle can be reached by crossing a flat area of coral-encrusted rock formations. A picturesque swim-through bisects the pinnacle at a depth of only 35 feet, bringing you to the "other side" — a steep wall on the inside of the volcanic crater that drops off to more than 120 feet. Black bar soldierfish, grunts, and lobster can be found in the swim-through. If you're brave enough, you can descend the wall to see swaying sea fans and beautiful gorgonians.

• Depth: 111-120ft/34-37m
• Location: Scotts Head Pinnacle, Dominica

Continuing northwest from Scott's Head Pinnacle, there is a volcanic ridge that leads out to Crater's Edge. Because of its depth, this location attracts larger fish that like to hang out in the blue, near the Edge. You might see jacks, snappers, tuna, and rainbow runners. Up in the shallow bowl, there is impressive coral full of smaller reef fish hiding from predators. Don't be alarmed if you think you're being stalked by a barracuda—just he's using you as a cover for his next meal!

If you can take your gaze away from the commotion and toward the pinnacle, you'll see waterfalls of Creole wrasse and brown and blue Chromis. A spectacular wall covered in colorful sponges and giant barrel sponges is hidden behind all of this activity. It is not uncommon to be pursued by one or two massive barracudas as you leave the area. The Crater's Edge Pinnacle can be easily circumnavigated in a single dive, or the volcanic ridge can be followed to Scott's Head Pinnacle.

• Depth: 10-40m (32-131ft)
• Location: Crater's Edge, Dominica

Scotts Head Drop Off is the closest dive site to the Atlantic. This means that there may be strong currents, but there is also a greater chance of pelagic - the larger animals in the sea. This wall drops to 30 meters / 100 feet, which is deeper than is typical in the Caribbean.

This dive features pink and azure vase sponges, orange icing sponges, yellow tube sponges, and green rope sponges. Sponges covered the wall and pinnacles, and numerous hard coral builders softened the edges. There are reef creatures everywhere, and there is plenty of time to go 'treasure hunting.' There are also a lot of Spaghetti worms, Christmas tree worms, and Star horseshoe worms, as well as some long Bearded fireworms.

Lobsters, Muray eels, and Scorpion fish were hiding, while schools of Smallmounth grunts were swimming around. At Scotts Head Drop Off, a lovely Lettuce sea slug was discovered. This dive concludes with a 50-foot safety stop that is worth the trip in and of itself.

• Depth: 5m/15ft-30m/100ft

Its impressive topography and abundance of macrolife make La Sorciere of the best dive sites in Dominica. In the southern corner, one can float 30 ft off the wall and see the surface cliff enter the sea then drop into the deep on both sides of you, a truly impressive sight. ! It's no surprise that the other name for this location is "L'abym/The Abyss." Because there is rarely any current here, this sensation can be enjoyed by all.

La Sorciere site is well-known for its macro variety, in addition to its breathtaking views.

Point Guignard, one of the best dive sites in Dominica, is a slowly sloping wall that begins at about 30ft/10m and reaches a depth of about 80ft/25m. The dive itself is relatively easy and calm, making it suitable for divers of all skill levels. However, for more experienced divers with better buoyancy, there are some tight swim-throughs and a cool archway. There is also a cave about 50 feet deep with some interesting life, but it is narrow and can quickly silt up, so it is not recommended for large groups or anyone who does not have perfect buoyancy.

Point Guignard is an excellent location to see schooling reef fish, stingrays, and moray eels. Turtles are frequently seen during the nesting season, which lasts from April to September. Peek inside the many barrel sponges to find crustaceans and frogfish hiding inside. And if you look closely, you can see seahorses on the georgian fans.

Danglebens Pinnacle is actually a collection of five pinnacles of varying shapes and sizes. The sandy bottoms that separate the pinnacles give this undulating landscape a unique appearance. The site is close to the shore and ranges from 30-130ft/10-40m. There is a mild current that runs through the pinnacles, making it unsuitable for beginner divers.

This dive spot takes its name from the Dangleben’s family who owned the land at the edge of the site. This submarine crater has an incredible underwater formation. Five colorful pinnacles expose an abundance of life at only 8 meters depth. The coral formations are especially impressive here. Tunas, trevallies, barracudas, wrasses, and snappers swim in schools around these reefs. On the pinnacle walls, you will find a macro life developed with seahorses or shrimps camouflaged in anemones to avoid predators. It is best to visit this dive site when there is some current so that you can see schools of fish.
