We've been diving in many places, and never felt compelled to write a review of a dive shop. Pete runs a very friendly and familiar place. From the top notch people (Don, Fabian, Erick, Olan) to the canine dive mascot (Hunter), everybody gets to know you, your equipment, your skills, and your style. Pete, who clearly loves fixing things, stepped... more

We only had time for 2 dives and dived 2 sites called Toucary Bay and the Tube. Both were fairly shallow, we dived to about 80ft maximum depth with the majority of the time shallower. We did a 2 tank dive and were back at the dock by lunchtime. Peter and Helen who run Cabrits were friendly and laid back... more

We dived with Cabrits for half of our stay in Dominica and we can honestly say they are one of the best dive centres we have dived with. Laid back but safety aware, with a new boat, Pete and the crew were excellent. Helen back at the dive centre was friendly and very understanding (especially when we forgot our credit... more

The Cabrits Dive Center is a great place to dive and the few negative reviews here dont reflect my experience (speaking of which -- 175+ dives around the world). The owners (pete & helen) and dive masters (Don, Fabian, & Eric) are friendly and extend themselves to make your stay and dives enjoyable. I didnt encounter the dive masters who... more

My partner and I recently visited Dominica from the UK and had pre booked Cabrits Dive Centre for our open water dives to complete our PADI training. I have to admit to being nervous about the dives, we had only dived in a swimming pool up to arriving at Cabrits. I needn't have worried because Helen, Pete and all their... more

I did three double tanks with Cabrits Dive Center and had a great time doing so. They aren't lame (like some places) and you immediatly feel welcome and end the day having had a great time. They went above the norm in not only helping me arrange my dives, but also plan my trip to Dominica and arrange hotel in... more

My wife and I dived with Cabrits during the first week of February. I had arranged to do the Advanced Open Water course and Karen did the Open Water Referral. We chose Cabrits because they are the only operator on the north end of the island and wanted to avoid the crowds down south. On our first course day we... more

My last 50 dives have been with Helen, Pete, Fabian, Eric, John and couple of different instructors at Cabrits Dive Center. I've been all over the Caribbean and some how keep ending back in laid back Dominica. I think it's because of the people, after all Helen talked by girl friend into getting certified. I spent 7 years trying to... more

Bottom line up front: If you are planning a Caribbean vacation this is the where you want to go! My husband and I recently took an 18 day vacation in Dominica. We booked our entire trip through Cabrits Dive Centre to include hotel reservations and airport transportation. Pete and Helen (CDC owners) were extremely helpful and flexible. Throughout our stay... more

We dove one day with Cabrits Dive Center in January 2009 and had an experience similar to Tetwo's described below. The dive guide and boat driver seemed largely indifferent to whether divers set up their equipment correctly, entered and exited the water safely, and had the best dives possible. Two examples: (1) Some of the other divers had specifically requested... more

Management response from
HelenClarke, Owners

As owners of Cabrits Dive Centre, we are most concerned regarding the two negative reviews written recently regarding poor service at our diving centre. As a small family run dive operation we pride ourselves on good customer service – making our customers feel at home. We have identified the dive master who was responsible for both trips and will be...
