Dominican Republic Diving
Diving Highlights: The growing popularity of scuba diving means that many vacationers are certified divers looking for good diving spots, and many novices are curious to learn what is going on underneath the sea. While the Dominican Republic is a great place to begin diving, it is also a haven for serious divers. The country's undersea world has excellent reef diving, good visibility, warm waters, wrecks, caverns and marine life offering a wealth of diving experiences around the island. Travelers mostly head to Sosúa for diving. It is an excellent area for taking classes and satisfying Open Water Certification course requirements. Sosúa also has great advanced dives, too, especially in the waters near the international airport, ten minutes away by boat. The main diving spots there are Las Palmitas, the Airport Wall, Five Rocks, with plenty of coral, and La Pirámide, a series of interconnecting tunnels. The best months for diving in the north are April to September when the water is at its calmest and visibility is at its best.
