Why dive here
With 266+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Wendy’s Garden offers some of Soufriere-Scotts Head Marine Reserve's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Wendy's Garden, just south of Soufriere Jetty, offers a gentle introduction to Dominica's underwater world, maxing out at 17 metres. We usually find visibility around 21 metres, which is plenty for spotting the resident yellowhead jawfish peeking from their burrows. The site slopes easily from shore, dotted with barrel sponges and hard corals, and while we don't always hit the seahorse jackpot, it's worth keeping an eye out in the gorgonians. If you’re lucky enough to visit when the bait ball gathers, that's a spectacle, but even on a regular day, it’s a calm, enjoyable dive suitable for most skill levels.
