Enjoyed the first week of March in the Caribbean warm waters of Dominica (not Dominican Republic).
Traveled with Carmoday Scuba and Travel LLC out of Yakima.
Couple fair weather days, then rain as island was sandwiched by two tropical storms.
At least the rain was warm.
Viz was only a hazy 40-50 feet. (Yeah, I know.....that would be an excellent day here in the Pacific Northwest.)

Buddy Dive Resort, Roseau, Dominica. Dominica is a tropical rain forest island with a population of 75,000.
We did make 3000 new friends each day as a new cruise ship would anchor in front of the resort, but left by 6 PM.

Diving was south about 3-5 miles. Nice walls and coral heads.

This video is kinda long, set to HD, watch on a large monitor and enjoy the marine ecosystems.

Nice work! Seems like a ton of life there. How was the water temp?

Nice video. My daughter has been there. She insists that we go. I suspect you agree?

I can attest that the locals make some very tasty moonshine. My sister was on a cruise ship that stopped at the island quite a few years ago. She smuggled back a small bottle of the local hooch, and gave it to me for Xmas.
Looks like a beautiful place to go that's not as crowded (yet) as some of the other Caribbean destinations.
