Tu Sab

★★★★☆ (46)

A small scale wall, for Dominica, perfect for beginners and large groups. Its very protected and hard to get too lost inside the bay. While it’s no where near as colourful as Scotts Head drop off around the corner its crevices hides lots of critters. Many species of lobsters and crabs. Also a great night dive!

Many species of crabs and lobsters hide away in the crevices and holes in the wall. Take along a flashlight and look inside the hidey holes for some rare critters.

Nature Island Dive, Nature Island Aquasports

Bayfront, 00190-8000 Soufriere, Dominica

Dive Sites Nearby

Mares, Predrag Vuckovic

Mountain Top (★4.6)

It’s a lucky person who gets to dive here, you need everything to go well. No wind, waves or current as its very susceptible. Always a simply stunning dive, 17 m on the top there is no where to hide but swim with huge schools of fish, massive horse eye jacks, rainbow runners and barracudas.
Aqualung

Sea Fan City - Dominica (★4.2)

One of the newest dive sites in the South with a totally different vibe to other sites. Leaving Suburbs mooring you head along the wall to the West following the contours and ridges. The way back is up shallow on the shelf where you swim through a huge area of dense sea fans and some staghorn corals.
Mares

Lost Horizon (★3.8)

The mooring has been missing for years and as this site is seldom dived it was never replaced. That means divers get dropped off and swim towards the Suburbs mooring.It is well worth diving with perhaps some of the most diverse mix of fish and corals anywhere. The beginning is an entryway to a spectacular canyon.
Mares

Village - Dominica (★4.5)

A beautiful Atlantic side dive site. A fantastic display of huge sea fans, sea plumes and sea rods give Village a very unique feel compared to the Caribbean side. A resident school of Atlantic spade fish often swim with the divers, this is the only place we see them regularly. Currents can change very fast here.
Mares, Janez Kranjc

Condo (★4.4)

A large rock on the sloping bottom that was supposedly blown there in the volcanic explosion that formed the island. The name Condo comes from the many cracks and crevices in the rock that hides lobsters, crabs and many other creatures. A large sandy area full of garden eels is a cool spot, also swim-throughs.
Scubapro, Stephen Frink

West Bank (★4.7)

Part of the area that makes up Scotts Head Pinnacle and Swiss Cheese this site is a standalone pinnacle that so incredibly rich with life we go around it twice! Walls and crevices, valleys and sloping coral shelves. There are many ways to do this site but not a single one that will not amaze!
Nature Island Dive, 00190-8000 Soufriere

Scotts Head Pinnacle (★4.8)

Everyday you dive this site is a great day! One of the island’s most diverse sites with walls, swim-throughs, caverns, flat sand and large rocky fields full of life. The highlight is the large swim-through into the volcanic crater wall and into the volcano! Then you drop onto the wall and sit back and be amazed!
Mares

Scotts Head Drop Off (★4.6)

An amazing wall that is absolutely full of colour! This site is usually visited as a second dive but it is full of life from over 30m/100ft deep to 5m/15ft deep. Lots of crevices and cracks in the wall make it a great macro site good for lobsters, crabs and shrimps. You can get current if you go outside the bay.
Mares

Missing Link (★4.4)

This dive site is named because it links up Scotts Head Pinnacle and Scotts Head Drop off and was rarely dived in the early days. A great combination of walls and a shelf that stick out into the crater. Can have a strong current that you can use to drift the site.
Mares

Craters Edge (★4.6)

The last divable point of the volcanic crater! A spectacular pinnacle that juts out into the crater and attracts tons of pelagics and schooling fish. Most of the time your head is spinning trying to watch the fish action and you forget to look at the wall full of sponges and gorgonians!
Aqualung

Wendy’s Garden (★4.2)

Just south of the Soufriere Jetty, this is an easy dive with a gently sloping start from shore. Classic Dominica reef from depths of 25 ft to 80 ft with brilliant sponges, abundant reef fish and an occasional seahorse. Dive guide required.
Mares, Predrag Vuckovic

Soufreire Pinnacles (★4.5)

A series of pinnacles right in front of Soufriere Village that makes a perfect second or even third dive, as it is beautiful at very shallow depths.
Scubapro, Stephen Frink

L’Abym North (★4.4)

A continuation of the dramatic wall L’Abym. It’s a mix of dramatic wall and great critters and macro on the wall also. Suitable for all levels as there is seldom currents and it’s protected from waves and wind as it’s so close to shore.
Mares, Janez Kranjc

Danglebens Pinnacles (★4.5)

A series of 5 pinnacles from 40ft/12m depth to 30m/100ft depth. Suitable for all levels but the start is in the open water and down onto the pinnacle at 40ft, there is no shallow area and there can be currents here. A topographical dream with lots of drop offs, valleys and pinnacles full of life.
Mares

Point Guirnard (★4.3)

An easy dive for all levels. Sloping reef inside the headland is always calm but there can be current as you go around. After the turnaround the shallow reef is really beautiful.
Mares, Predrag Vuckovic

Champagne (★4.7)

The world famous dive site is more than just a volcanic vent of bubbles! A nice reef dive easy for all levels, a muck dive out in the sand and even an old cannon in the shallows. The bubbles are in 15ft/5m of water so they make a great safety stop!
