First, if I were staying in Dominica, I would not dive with Anchorage. The catamaran, The Passion, was totally unsuited for divers in that it had no platform to put on gear and enter the water from. Exiting the water was equally difficult. When we returned from our dive, there was water, but not enough juice for everyone and no snacks. The crew was amicable, but seemed a bit disorganized. I was a passenger on Windjammer's Polynesia, which made the dive arrangements. There were quite a few divers on the ship and they did take out small groups of divers in their motorized inflatable, and did some shore dives. Due to the hurricanes, the waters were not particularly clear anywhere in the West Indies. There were a great many barrel and tube sponges, sea fans and small fauna, but only small fish. The dives were pretty, but not spectacular. As for "Windjammin it," it is definately camping at sea. However, the food was good and the crew worked very hard to see that everyone had a good time. |
