If there’s one thing we know about scuba divers, it’s that they’re passionate people. Once you come to know and appreciate the beauty of the world beneath the waves, you become pretty invested in protecting it! And there’s nothing like planning scuba diving trips to some of the Caribbean’s best scuba diving locations to cement a commitment to making sure future generations will be able to enjoy these paradises too!
There’s been a strong trend toward socially conscious and eco-aware tourism. Here at Ultimate Dive Travel, we applaud these efforts. Dive travel has a critical role in protecting vulnerable seascapes. By contributing in a meaningful fashion to local economies, dive travel has a positive impact on Caribbean efforts to protect their environment.
As the Ethical Traveler says, mindful travel is a net positive for the planet. That’s why we’re thrilled to see Dominica on this year’s list of the Top Ten Ethical Travel Destinations. Dominica made the list for its strong environmental efforts. Island nations will be very severely impacted by climate change, and are therefore taking the vanguard in progressive environmental policies. That’s something every environmentally aware diver can applaud.
Dive Dominica: See the Sperm Whales
Dominica, like many of the best scuba diving locations in the Caribbean, is blessed with temperate weather, warm water, and fabulous visibility. The volcanic walls of the island drop off dramatically only a few miles from shore, which makes the area irresistible to Sperm Whales. One of the world’s largest populations of these gentle giants makes their home in the region, and enjoying a whale watching trip can be the highlight of your scuba diving trips to Dominica.
Beneath the waves, you’ll find a thriving, vibrant colorful reef system teeming with sea life. Dominica is very serious about protecting the environment, and you can see the results in the healthy undersea community. Large yellowtail snappers, barracudas, and horse eye jacks school here. There’s an amazing diversity of corals and sponges. Don’t miss the red banded lobsters and keep your eyes open for sea horses!
