Dominica dive festival to celebrate 15 years
07 May 2008
The Caribbean island of Dominica will host its annual Dive Fest for the 15th time this year.
Taking place between 11 and 20 July, this event is the Caribbean's longest running scuba diving festival.
According to the island's tourist board, to stay on land is to experience only half of Dominica and Dive Fest encourages visitors to explore the aquatic worlds and marine life to be found in the surrounding waters.
Novices and children can take part in pool- or ocean-based introductory sessions, some of which are offered for free.
Steve Bornn, director of tourism at Discover Dominica, said: 'Dive Fest was established to showcase the incredible marine environment of Dominica to both visitors and residents and is now one of the island's staple events.
'The community gets into the spirit of proceedings to create a fun, family festival, so visitors get deeply involved with co-mingling in the colourful villages as they enjoy everything else the 'Nature Island' has to offer.'
Opodo cheap flights and hotels - let the journey begin!
