BEAUTIFUL RAINFORESTS & SOME OF THE BEST DIVING WE'VE EVER DONE.NOT MUCH BIG STUFF (OTHER THAN A SPOTTED SNAKE EEL & SOME LARGE TURTLES).VARIETY OF CORAL & MACRO-LIFE WAS EXCEPTIONAL.MANY FROGFISH,SEAHORSES,SCORPION FISH,CRABS & LOTS OF SMALL CRITTERS PROVIDED OUTSTANDING PHOTO-OP'S.DEREK AT DIVE DOMINICA WAS ACCOMMODATING & HELPFUL,AS WAS DIVE STAFF.DIVE BOATS WERE EXCELLENT-A COUPLE DAYS TOOK 12 - 14 DIVERS & WERE A LITTLE CROWDED.CASTLE COMFORT ROOMS & FOOD WERE GOOD,NOT FANCY,BUT A NICE LOCAL FEEL.USED KEN'S HINTERLAND TOURS FOR HIKES & TRANSPORTATION-RECOMMENDED.DRIVING ON THE UNMARKED 1 1/2LANE WIDE MOUNTAIN ROADS OURSELVES WOULD HAVE BEEN A HASSLE - EACH ONCOMING CAR INVOLVED A MINI-GAME OF "CHICKEN"TO SEE WHO WOULD PULL TO THE SIDE FIRST.3 NIGHTS AT PAPILLOTE WILDERNESS RETREAT-A LITTLE MORE RUSTIC THAN EXPECTED,BUT A BEAUTIFUL,RELAXING PLACE.DOMINICA IS TOUGH TO GET TO IN 1 DAY-OVERNIGHT IN MIAMI OR PUERTO RICO.IF OVERNIGHTING IN MIAMI,RECOMMEND THE MIAMI INT.AIRPORT HOTEL LOCATED IN TERMINAL E.NICE,SUPER-CONVENIENT & WELL-INSULATED FROM AIRPORT NOISE. U/W PHOTOGRAPHERS - IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MACRO LENS,BUY ONE FOR THIS TRIP!! |
