Why dive here
With 256+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and manta rays - TAIRLAW offers some of Cabrits & Northern Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The *Tairlaw* offers a different kind of dive on Dominica’s northern coast. This motor vessel, beached by Hurricane Klaus back in '84, now rests partially exposed in just 4 meters of water. It’s a shallow, easy exploration, perfect for a relaxed dive, even snorkelers can get a good look. We’ve found barracuda often hang around the remaining hull sections, and the structure itself is covered in a mosaic of small corals and sponges, making a home for crabs and tiny gobies. It’s not a deep, dramatic wreck, but a calm, accessible one that tells a bit of local history.
