Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Missing Link offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Missing Link in Dominica’s Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve sits, quite literally, between Scotts Head Pinnacle and the Drop Off. It’s a good spot, one we often suggest for a solid, varied dive. We usually drift along the wall, letting the current do the work. You’ll find things like Sawcheek Cardinalfish tucked into crevices and, if you keep an eye on the blue, you might catch a glimpse of a dolphin species – we’ve seen Bridled Dolphins out here before. It's a manageable 20m max, and we often find Candy Basslets and Yellowhead Jawfish hanging out on the shelf. Visibility hovers around 23m, so you get a clear look. It’s a nice pick if you’re after a relaxed drift with chances for both small stuff and a bit of open-water action.
