This dive site, known as Village, is located on Dominica's beautiful Atlantic side, offering a unique diving experience distinct from the Caribbean coast. Divers can navigate through impressive underwater landscapes characterized by a fantastic display of huge sea fans, sea plumes, and sea rods, which create a very unique feel. There is no specific history or story provided for the site.
The marine life at Village is a significant draw, primarily known for a resident school of Atlantic spadefish that frequently swims with divers, a sight not regularly encountered elsewhere. Additionally, stingrays can sometimes be spotted in the sandy areas, adding to the diversity of marine encounters. The impressive gorgonians like sea fans, sea plumes, and sea rods form a vibrant underwater garden.
While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the site is accessible year-round. Divers should be prepared for variable currents, which can change very fast, making it advisable to dive with experienced local guides. The average depth of 11 meters, with a maximum of 23 meters, makes it suitable for both advanced open water divers and recreational divers who are comfortable with potential current changes. Freedivers can also enjoy the site, especially the shallower areas with their rich coral formations.
