Toucari Caves

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.
