Whale Delirium The "Group of Seven", the best-studied pod of sperm whales in the world. They have roamed the coast of Dominica since 2005 and are one of the most famous pods, in particular for their tolerance to divers when being approached in a calm and considerate way. Dives take places after the whales are located by underwater listening devices! 🔈
Cetaceans Dream 🌋 Laying embedded in the Caribbean, Dominica is surrounded by sheltered bays and deep underwater canyons. This environment provides shelter for a range of cetacean species in addition to sperm whales, such as common and bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales! Anything can happen here, you just need to be there!
Green Fertility 🌿 Formed from volcanic activity, the island's soil is incredibly fertile. Flowers and plants flourish around the island, making it a wondrous place not only for ocean lovers, but also for on land nature enthusiasts. We had a blast hiking and discovering the jungles here! 🌴
Dominica is a lush Caribbean island known for its unspoiled natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Often called the “Nature Island,” it features volcanic landscapes, dense rainforests, and stunning waterfalls like those in Morne Trois Pitons National Park.
Visitors can explore the famous Boiling Lake, one of the largest hot springs in the world.
Although around 20 different whale families have been identified in Dominica, 10 families are regularly spotted since 1984. Sperm whales live up to 70 years and is believed that they encounter and interact with other whales on a regular basis, which means that they can remember each other over long periods of time.
According to scientists, these interactions are possible through a complex set of dialects of clicking sounds, often called ‘codas’. Although each unit has its own set of clicks, there does seem to be overlaps between these codas of different units. Fascinatingly, units who share similarities in sound repertoires tend to spend time together, while those with different repertoires never seem to do so.
