About Scotts Head Drop Off
Scotts Head Drop Off is a classic Dominica shore wall where a straightforward entry opens into a steep, sponge-covered face full of crevices and macro life. The site sits on the edge of the marine reserve, so the draw is the wall itself: rich color, plenty of hiding places and the chance of larger animals moving along the drop. It is best when you want a controlled wall dive with real topography, not a relaxed shallow reef swim.
