Comments	We did 22 dives with Nature Island Dive and thought it was the best diving we have done in the Caribbean. They have a variety of types of sites and the dive masters know them well. They are full service - they will get your gear onboard, set it up, and take it off and wash it at the end of the day. You just need to show up with your mask and be ready to enjoy. They go back to home base between dives. You can hang out inside or out. They make great lion fish sandwiches, smoothies, and coffee. Everyone who works there is friendly - you quickly will feel part of a family. Many barracuda (some huge), lots of the usual Caribbean reef fish, multiple eels on every dive, a frogfish, many scorpion fish, and the biggest stingray I have ever seen.

I was there in Dominica November 27th 2020,despite I had to quarantine one thing I was able to dive with Nature diver Soufriere. They are covid- 19 approved by the government. a cab driver comes to get you everyday at the resort and take you to the dive shop .has to follow CDC OR NHS guide lines .The diving is superb .Pinnacles .walls, drop offs and the covd -19 in the island is minimun I felt very safe.

We stayed at Jungle Bay resort. It is fancier than our usual dive travel accommodations. If you use WhatsApp or Facebook messenger you can contact Nature Island Dive for additional recommendations.
