Plongée à Dominica — Dominica
Dominica is the only country where sperm whales are resident year-round, and Champagne Reef — where volcanic gases bubble through the coral, creating a fizzing underwater sensation — is unlike anything else in the Caribbean. The 'Nature Island' delivers volcanic walls, pristine coral, and some of the least-dived waters in the Lesser Antilles.
