Best for scuba divers comfortable with moving water and a drift-style profile on Dominica's south-western headland.
About Missing Link
Missing Link is a current-swept Dominica dive where the Scotts Head Pinnacle area meets the Scotts Head Drop Off. A wall-and-shelf profile drops into the crater and suits a drift-style scuba dive, with room for both small reef life and larger fish in moving water. The route stays interesting from the upper shelf to the outer edge, so steady buoyancy and a current-aware plan matter throughout.
