Most literature related to scuba diving Dominica states that it's one of the best dive locations in the world.  Having had several  opportunities for comparison, I agree.  For me, the diving here was really incredible; we dove on several, very accessible reefs which were all loaded with a huge variety of pristine corals and marine life.

 

My 13 year old son, Alden, concluded his open-water scuba certification under the supervision of dive master, Izzy Madisetti.  Izzy, who has lived on the island for many years, provided solid, safe guidance and was extremely familiar with all the Dominica dive sites. He, his wife Liz and 14 year old son, Dylan, made our underwater experiences very comfortable; we dove with them several times.   

 

We also had the good fortune of being on Dominica during the islands' annual Dive Fest.  This proved to be good timing as the Fest provided several opportunities along the coast including dives sponsored by Sea Life Cameras at incredibly reduced rates.  The photos and video on this page were taken with Sea Life cameras during a special promotional dive; cameras were provided to each diver that they might participate in a photo contest while test-driving the company's photography equipment.
