Comments	We were in Dominica in 2010 and had a very nice dive visit. We stayed in Castle Comfort, a hotel & dive shop run by a Sister & Brother team south of the capital. While we had a nice time, during that visit I promised myself I'd stay in Fort Young Hotel if ever I returned. We got our chance to return recently as a default destination due to COVID travel restrictions, stayed in Fort Young and again dove with Dive Dominica. The hotel was superior and our return to Dive Dominica was better than that. Beyond the economic damages caused by the COVID lockdowns, Hurricane Maria's damages were all too evident. Dominica is indeed slow to repair the storm damages and derelict properties abound, even in downtown Roseau, the nation's capital. Dive Dominica is owned & superbly operated by Daniel with Irwin as my favorite Captain, Brenton a great Divemaster and Brad manning the FYH shop. While finding an open restaurant proved to be a challenge, we had a great meal at Stinger's Pub & Restaurant which included lionfish ceviche and chicken skewers all washed down with chilly beers & potent rum punch! great diving on the Nature Island!
