Comments	We flew United Airlines from Newark to Antigua.Then we were supposed to get a LIAT flight from Antigua to Dominica. The flight was at least an hour an a half late. We boarded the plane to discover that even though we had assigned seats there were no empty seats left on the plane. We were bumped off the flight and had to overnight in Antigua (which was paid for by LIAT). We missed the first day of diving at Castle Comfort due to our late arrival. The next night there was a flash flood. They had to cancel the diving for that day also. So all in all we only dove 3 out of the 5 days. The visibility was ok to poor due to the tremendous run off from the rivers and streams. I really can't judge the diving on Dominica due to these circumstances. What I would like to tell other readers is there is another way to get to Dominica which does not involve taking LIAT (one of the worst airlines I have ever flown). There is an airline called Seaborne. They took over for American Eagle. They fly out of San Juan. In my opinion this is the way to go . Travelers take heed. We did enjoy our stay at Castle Comfort. It's a well run operation with good food and a very friendly staff. We will have to return under better circumstances.
