These 20 Dive Resorts Are Perfect for an Underwater Caribbean Vacation
By: Karen Udler - November 20th, 2025
Fort Young Hotel, Dominica
Dominica’s volcanic topography creates some of the Caribbean’s most unique underwater environments, and Fort Young places you right on the doorstep of them. Set along Roseau’s waterfront, the hotel works closely with local operators for access to pinnacles, hot-spring vents (like the fantastic Champagne Reef, where’ve journeyed several times) and reefs marked by extraordinary marine life. Between dives, you can explore Dominica’s waterfalls, canyon trails and rainforest—turning the trip into an all-terrain adventure where the island’s landscape is as unforgettable as its dive sites.
