St. George (Wreck)

This wreck sits in the Bayahibe area, just in front of Dreams La Romana Resort. It is an old passenger liner, 30 ft wide and 99 ft long, sunk as an artificial reef in May 2009.

Spectacular reef at 12 meters. Statues and a beautiful coral garden are both found here. Jardin de corales. There is numerous marine life with incredible colors. A great place for conducting training.

An awesome dive site that’s easily accessible from shore with beautiful coral and marine life to see. Dominicus Reef is part of the same reef that goes from Viva Shallow and continues along the coast all the way to El Peñon and Piscina Natural.

Bayahibe offers some of the best diving the Dominican Republic has to offer from shipwrecks and pristine coral reefs to national parks full of cool caverns and swim-throughs just waiting to be explored.

Guaraguao is a fairly shallow reef located in Parque Nacional Del Este with a max depth of only 40 feet. A great site for beginning divers and snorkelers. It is an artificial archeological site where cannons, cannonballs, and ancient muskets were brought here from a sunken galley for scuba divers to enjoy.

The island is a natural park with limited access; there is only one small beach where visitors are allowed to go to shore and is mostly not worth it as it is so crowded. The wall dive here of the island is spectacular and there is great shallow reefs for both diving and snorkeling.

Catalina Wall (Santa Catalina Wall) is considered one of the best walls in the Dominican Republic. Diving here is available for divers of all levels as the reef starts shallow and then drops off deeper. The wall is covered with a beautiful reef full of corals every color, shape, and size.

An enjoyable, easy, shallow dive with lots of stingrays, lobsters, and reef life. Usually the second dive for dive charters due to its shallow depth. A great snorkel as well.

El Peñon is a long reef that can be divided up into 3 different dive sites all sitting in about 40 to 90 feet of saltwater. Not as popular as some of the Dominican Republic’s other dive sites, making it a bit more pristine and less crowded, so it’s worth the longer boat ride out here.

A fun reef dive with small cave/cavern to explore and fun swim-throughs. Lots of healthy reef life and multicolored hard and soft corals. Look for nurse sharks hiding under ledges.
