Swiss Cheese (Soldierfish Cave)
15° 13.1′ N · 61° 22.2′ W · approximate
A big rock formation riddled with swim-throughs at the start of the Scotts Head Pinnacle dive, where a curtain of blackbar soldierfish and grunts parts as you glide through.
Practical
Position approximate: Dive Dominica says the site is at the start of the Scotts Head Pinnacle dive; set just north-east of the catalogue's approximate Scotts Head Pinnacle point inside the bay - follow the dive boat. Not actually a cave (Dive Dominica). The adjoining Scotts Head Pinnacle has a swim-through at 35 ft and an inner crater wall dropping past 120 ft; Fort Young rates the pinnacle for intermediate and advanced divers. Operator-led only; SSMR fee US$2 per dive. Close to the Atlantic/Caribbean meeting point - current can pick up toward Scotts Head.
