15° 13.2′ N · 61° 22.4′ W · approximate

Practical
Position approximate: Dive Dominica places Crater's Edge north-west of Scotts Head Pinnacle along a volcanic ridge; set about 400 m NW of the catalogue's approximate pinnacle point, in open water in the bay. The pinnacle can be circled in one dive; barracuda often shadow divers; creole wrasse and chromis around the top (Dive Dominica). Fort Young also lists it among its sites. Depths not published - expect a deep, open-water profile; operator-led only, SSMR fee US$2 per dive.
