Comments	Diving on Dominica is always good, in fact, it's my favorite Caribbean destination, which is why I return almost every year. The reefs are healthy and full of life. The locals are doing an excellent job of keeping the lionfish in check as well! We saw a few on the popular dive sites, and the crew caught many for us to eat. I took several fillets back to Fort Young Hotel, who was happy to cook them for us. AlDive did their usual excellent job of taking care of me. The conditions were excellent, with no current whatsoever in the marine park. While there are fewer eels, seahorses, flying gurnards and frogfish than there were ten years ago, there are still LOTS of critters like crabs, mantis shrimp, banded coral shrimp, popcorn shrimp, beautiful sponges and corals to enjoy.
