Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Condo offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest drift diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Condo offers a solid dive, especially if you appreciate the little things. It’s essentially a massive volcanic rock, supposedly blasted there when Dominica formed, now sitting on a sandy slope. We like exploring the countless nooks and crannies in the rock itself; it’s a reliable spot for spotting lobsters and various crabs peeking out. Then you’ve got the expansive sandy flats surrounding it, home to garden eels swaying in the slight current. Maximum depth is about 22m, so it’s a relaxed profile. Keep an eye out for stingrays gliding over the sand and schools of grunts hanging around the rock.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
