Johnny Sunnex, aka Johnny Deep, has recently begun running his well-known training camps – attended by elite freedivers and beginners alike – on the Caribbean island of Dominica, in a dormant volcanic crater in the south of the island.
Not only does the island have the ideal conditions that we free divers are searching for: easy access to unlimited depth from shore, predictably calm, current-free and warm conditions in the water; it also boasts incredible natural beauty, friendly locals, and offers many activities for freedivers and non-freedivers alike. You can find hot springs, cascades and waterfalls, freshwater pools and gorges, trekking and even art galleries. I joined Johnny to assist him on one camp, and to develop my own diving on the second.
Known as the Nature Island, because of its unspoiled beauty, Dominica (pronounced: Domin-eeek-ah) is one of the Lesser Antilles, not to be confused with the larger, Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic further west. It lies south of Guadeloupe and Antigua, and north of Martinique and St Lucia.
Its a beautiful Lake!!. Though I always afraid to do diving here.
Well written article with a lot of very useful information…especially as it relates to tourism promotion for Dominica… Collin Piper & others from the tourism department…take note and follow up!!!!!
ya the Boeri Lake, I tried to see how far I could go down then my ears started to hurt :S
Quibish.. You go down too fast… you supposed to pause every 5 to 10 feet to a pop your ears to release the pressure.
