Why dive here
With 391+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, humpback whales and orcas - Baby Cakes Reef offers some of Iron Bottom Sound's richest pinnacle diving. Water sits around 30°C.
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.
