Info on Dominica please.

Trying to plan a dive trip to Dominica. Don't know anything about it. Was thinking about Fort Young. We just learned that Buddy Dive will be joining them this summer. It seems like the price combined price is ALOT more.

Where has anyone stayed and dove with. Am excited about great diving and very interested in the land tours. A nice day of hiking to a waterfall and birding would be GREAT!!!

Thanks

Dominica…everything I should know but don't.

I was surprised how nice the diving was in Dominica. Excellent!

Those 2 threads should get you started. I haven't been, but it's on my 'maybe someday' list. I think some criticism was included, not just the selling points. How much time do you have to commit to this trip? If it takes 2 days to get there, & 2 days back, will you have enough time to do all the diving and some land tours that you want?

Richard.

We visited with a group in 2006 and the island is beautiful.
Visiting the waterfalls was an amazing experience.
The travel was a headache and is the main reason we will not return.
We stayed at the Fort Young and were disappointed in the rooms.
At the time, some rooms were older and needed updating.

Thanks for the links you posted. I enjoyed reading them and they have a lot of information.

I have been wanting to dive in Dominica. I am working on making it happen next year.
Question: If we rent a jeep, how much is the cost for a week's rental? How much is unleaded gasoline there/gallon? I tried to contact Collin(?) about the rental but have not heard back. Any other suggestion for jeep rental?
Thank you.

Dominica is a fantastic island. Best to spend two weeks and also really see the interior. We used Nature Island Dive about 20 minutes south of town. Never more than 6 on a dive and usually only 2 or 4. I'd love to go back but getting there is a pain. Food is not that good. But the very green interior with tons of rivers and waterfalls makes up for it.
