A structure-led west-coast dive with plenty of reef relief and a straightforward pinnacle profile. Divers focus on the contours, schooling fish, and steady buoyancy around the walls.
About West Bank
West Bank is a standalone pinnacle in Dominica's southwest dive circuit, reached by boat through the Soufriere and Scotts Head area. The profile is built around walls, crevices, valleys, and sloping coral shelves, so the dive feels like a slow circuit around the formation rather than a single pass. Divers plan for buoyancy control, changing current, and occasional surge around the exposed edges.
