Accommodation for Divers in the Commonwealth of Dominica
13 February 2018
The diving in Dominica is nearly all on the Caribbean side of the island, so that is where to base yourself. Much of the accommodation is fairly basic: one room with beds, living area and "kitchenette". The kitchenette tends to be a couple of rings, a fridge and a sink.
Although there is good diving throughout Dominica, the best is in the South. We'd recommend spending some time in all areas: North, South and Middle. It is only a small island and you can travel from one end to the other in a couple of hours.

North Dominica
The dive operator covering the North of Dominica is JC Ocean Adventures in the Cabrits National Park. You can stay in Portsmouth or Calibishie is also popular. Calibishie is on the Atlantic Northern coast of the island half an hour's drive from Portsmouth. If you haven't hired a car you can catch a bus between the two, but you will have to get up early to be there in time. To be sure of getting to the dive centre for an 8.30 am start you will need to catch the 6.40 am bus.
Highly recommended. Owned and run by Harta who is a lovely character. There are six apartments arranged as three "cottages" in a garden next to the sea. Excellent food, although like in a lot of places in Dominica quite expensive. You can cook in your room though, go to the shacks for takeaway Caribbean food, or visit one of the other nearby restaurants.
