Our territorial waters are home to sperm whales, dwarf and pigmy sperm whales and seven species of dolphin, including the short fin pilot whale, pan tropical spotted dolphins and the rare Fraser's dolphin. Brydes and Humpback whales are two migratory species that call Dominica home from November to April.  However, we see sperm whales and dolphins all year round.

ALDive's "DEEP SEA EXPEDITION" begins with an on-shore briefing. On this specialized patented 3 ½ hour tour we head out by boat in search of "adventurous" encounters with life at sea. If weather permits we venture into the mighty Atlantic Ocean or stay on the calmer Caribbean Sea . Although we generally stay within 3 miles off-shore we sometimes view the island from a “little” farther out and point out geographical features and mountain peaks. We may take a hydrophone to listen for any sounds that are not "Man-made". Visitors may also get a chance (if we do encounter them) to hear the clicking and whistling sounds made by whales and dolphins. We explain (if we do encounter them) why we keep our distance, why we approach them from certain directions and why we shut off the boat engines. We look out for whales, dolphins, fish and turtles. We stop to observe and identify sea birds, wave at passing "yachties" or chat with local fishermen about their day's catch. We may even throw a line overboard; maybe catch some dinner. There is usually a brilliant sunset at the end of the day.

The boats are equipped with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and ALL safety equipment required my International Maritime. Information logged is vital to various organizations such as CARIBwhale, ROSTI (Rosalie Sea Turtle Initiative) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) that conducts periodic research into indigenous marine populations and are allowed to incorporate our findings into their reports.
