Les trois Pointes - Cabrits & Northern Coast

Les trois Pointes is a perfectly pleasant dive, especially if you’re newer to the sport or just getting back into it. Dropping to a comfortable 18 metres, it’s a calm introduction to Dominica’s northern diving. We typically spot a good variety of reef fish here, lots of small stuff darting amongst the coral heads. It’s a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon dive, no major thrills but consistently enjoyable.
