Scuba Diving in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic

INFO & Map

Diving in Bayahibe

The fisherman village Bayahibe is the best starting point for diving in the Dominican Republic.

In front of this small village begins the Parque Nacional del Este. This park was declared a protected area in September 1975. Among its ecosystems are sea grass beds, mangrove forests, rocky coasts, sandy beaches, moist and dry subtropical deciduous forests, salt tolerant plant communities and important for us divers coral reefs. In the Reef you can see lobster, eagle rays, manatees, whales, sharks, dolphins, turtles & much more. We reach the reefs in only 5 to 30 min by boat.  The depth range from 30 to 100 ft. The sea is always smooth and good visibility up to 120 ft is guaranteed around the year.

Dive Sites

Wreck of the Saint George

Scuttled to give an artificial reef the 240 ft steel freighter stands upright in the sand providing a new home for the marine life. Max. depth 120 ft.

Catalina Island - The Wall

One from the best spots of the Dominican Republic for divers and for snorkelers is The Wall in front of Catalina Island only 30 min away by boat. The Wall is a drop off falling down to 300 ft.

You can see black corals at about 80 ft.
The top of The Wall is full of marine life: corals and sponges in all colors, shapes and sizes, elk horn corals and myriad of colorful Caribbean fishes in shallow water. You can enjoy them just with snorkeling gear ( 6´to 15´)

Catalinita Island - Shark diving

For the advanced divers the dive sites near the small island Catalinita are an exciting experience with blacktip sharks, hammerheads and big rays.

Saona Island - Big fish

In front of Saona Island, the largest of the three islands, a dive site with ledges, where nurse sharks are often seen sleeping in the shadow under the overhangs, a strong current makes great drift dives possible.
