Travel from Punta Cana to the southern coast of the Dominican Republic and experience a complete scuba diving adventure at Catalina Island, one of the country’s most recognized diving destinations.
Your day begins with early pickup from your hotel or designated meeting point, followed by comfortable transportation to the departure area near La Romana or Bayahibe. After check-in, meet the dive team, review the safety procedures and prepare your scuba equipment before boarding the dive boat.
The experience includes two guided dives at selected Catalina Island dive sites. The exact locations are chosen according to weather, sea conditions, diver certification levels and daily operational considerations.
The first immersion may take place at a site known for coral formations, underwater walls and clear Caribbean visibility. After returning to the boat, enjoy a surface interval with time to rest, hydrate and prepare for the second dive.
The second immersion offers another opportunity to explore the island’s marine environment, with the possibility of seeing tropical fish, coral gardens, sponges and other Caribbean marine species. Wildlife sightings and underwater visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.
After completing both dives, continue to the island or designated coastal area for lunch and relaxation, depending on the confirmed operation. Enjoy time to rest before beginning the return journey to the mainland and Punta Cana.
This experience is designed for certified divers who want to explore two distinct dive sites while enjoying professional supervision, equipment support and convenient transportation.
Tour highlights include:
Round-trip transportation is available from selected hotels and designated meeting points in Punta Cana, Bávaro, Cabeza de Toro, Cap Cana, Arena Gorda, Macao and Uvero Alto.
