Nature Island Dive Open Now

Nature Island Dive is a Soufrière-based dive operator located directly on the shore of the Soufrière–Scotts Head Marine Reserve, offering immersive underwater experiences in Dominica’s spectacular south-west. Their core services include scuba diving, dive certification courses, and snorkelling, making them a strong option for both first-timers and experienced divers who want high-quality guiding in one of the island’s most iconic marine areas.

What sets them apart

Nature Island Dive centres its work on two priorities: sharing the sea and protecting it. Their conservation efforts are wide-ranging and practical, including lionfish control, REEF surveys, reef monitoring, mooring installation and maintenance, and coral conservation. The aim is clear: keep the marine environment healthy while helping more people safely experience and appreciate Dominica’s underwater world.

Personalised, small-group diving

They are well known for diving in very small groups and delivering personalised customer service. A standout part of their operation is the full gear-care approach: once you hand over your equipment, the team takes responsibility for it for the rest of your stay, setting it up on the boat, then rinsing, drying, and storing it so it is ready for your next day on the water. This removes friction for guests and keeps the focus on the diving itself.

Deep local expertise

The team’s experience in the Marine Reserve stretches back to 1994, bringing strong local knowledge and a “bucketful of expertise” across fish identification, coral identification, marine protection, conservation practices, macro and critter photography, and lionfish control. If you value guidance that goes beyond simply “showing sites” into learning and understanding the ecosystem, their experience profile aligns well.

Best for

• Divers who prefer small groups and a more hands-on, attentive operation

• Visitors who want to combine adventure with conservation-minded practices

• People looking for certification training or easy, well-supported snorkelling in the marine reserve
