Overall Rating

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!!
