Comments	Our Dive Education group landed in Dominica after an overnight stay in PR due to tight connections. LIAT refused to allow us to connect despite a 2 1/2 hour connection. Our flight on LIAT the next day was three hours late and stopped on Antigua despite not being scheduled to do so. Once on Dominica it is a 1.5 hr bus ride from airport to Roseau and our hotel. Fort Young staff were awesome - very accommodating. Hotel is easy walk to town. Rooms very nice and front ocean. Food very good. Dive operators picked us up at hotel dock. Dive gear stored on racks in dive shop. Boats are open and roomy. Dive staff worked hard to help divers. They were great at spotting critters. Helped when one diver was injured. Coral/rock formations were great. Sponges were awesome. Small critters great - stuff in every little hole. Dive sites seemed in good shape. Limited total number of sites. Didn't see a lot of big stuff - LOTS of fishermen around. Island is beautiful. Non-dive excursions great - jungle, waterfalls, etc. Great visit, nice dives. HARD to get to.
