Boat Diving


Today was our first set of boat dives. We started off with a deep dive of about 75 feet at Dangleben's Pinnacles. It was a very pleasant dive where we saw yellownose jawfish, balloonfish, banded shrimp, longsnout butterflyfish, and many more. Our second dive was at L'Abym, which was a wall dive. We descended to about 35 feet where the wall began. We swam along the wall staying around 40 feet enjoying the reef system thriving with marine life. I spotted some lobsters under an overhang. 

In comparison to Bonaire, the reef system here in Dominica is quite different. There are a lot more sponges and barrel sponges. Marine life so far has been fairly similar though.
