Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Anchorage Dive Center
Dive Anchorage is a great facility and Reggie is a wonderful dive master. You can enter the water directly from their pier. We did a very nice night dive and saw many flying gunards, very nice tube coral, other small fish, and a very large turtle on our way back to the dock. Dominica has very large underwater pinnacles that rise almost to the surface in places and you can see sperm whales they year round. The people are very friendly, hiking is wonderful, and I would highly recommend it as a diving destination. However, there is not much shore diving - only from the dive facilities docks.

I actually snorkeled Champagne Beach. I took a taxi from a cruise ship and requested Champagne reef. Taxi followed the coast for 20 to 30 minutes to a state park with a $2.00 entry fee. We were charged $60.00 round trip for the taxi, but he did sit and wait 3+ hours while we snorkeled. I thought we would be quicker but the snorkeling was great and the Kabuli (beer) was not bad either. The park rents snorkel gear if you do not have your own. There is a wooden pier most of the way along the beach. The only negative is there is no sand and lots of rocks between land and the sea. The rocks are not sharp but they are not easily traversed. Snorkeling or diving here is terrific. Visibility was 80 to 100 feet with little if any current. There are the champagne bubbles that are rather unique in one area, but I do not think they are the best part. The tube coral, brain coral, other types of coral, very colorful fish, lots of variety, and plenty of them to see. This is definitely a place I wish to return to in the future.
