Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest grossed $55.8 million on its opening day, setting the record for the largest opening day, the largest single day gross, and the largest Friday gross of all time. The previous record was held by Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith with $50,013,859.

The movie which was largely shot in Hampstead, Portsmouth, Vieille Case and Soufriere in Dominica, with Hollywood stars such as Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, has spawned favorable comment and praise for Dominica from some of the world’s major media organisations.

Pointe Ronde & the Craters

Point Ronde and the Craters have very gently sloping reef in excellent health showing vibrant colours and marine life in abundance. The latter site starts off around 70 feet and on reaching the craters the reef drops abruptly to 92 and 120 feet. The bottom of these impressive craters is sand marked by curious small holes from which occasional streams of bubbles escape. If the hand is placed on this sand it is warm to the touch, dig beneath the surface and beware it will burn.

In the southern corner one can float 30ft off the wall, a truly impressive site.
