About this dive site

This dive site, Danglebens Pinnacles, features a series of five distinct underwater rock formations, descending from 12 meters (40 feet) to 30 meters (100 feet) deep. It is a topographical dream, characterized by numerous drop-offs, valleys, and striking pinnacles. The dive commences in open water, with an initial descent directly onto the pinnacle tops at 12 meters, requiring direct entry into deeper water without a shallow area.

The pinnacles are teeming with life, promising encounters with passing pelagic species, regularly sighted turtles and barracudas, and large schools of baitfish. The site boasts an abundance of healthy sponge life and is particularly celebrated as Dominica's premier location for observing hamlets, especially rare hybrid varieties.

While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, diving in Dominica is generally excellent throughout the year. Divers should note the absence of a shallow entry point and the potential for currents, advising good buoyancy control. The diverse topography and moderate depths also make this an appealing site for experienced freedivers.
