The Diving
"Beautiful corals, sponges and numerous types of marine life. "
"Beautiful dive site starting at about 15 feet and descending down to more than 130 feet. Myriad sponges, corals and fish life. "
"Many different fish, perfect water, great!" " Lots of great fish and rock formations "
"The best in Sosua, good value for money, only 5 USD for the boat and you can get tanks and weight for 10 USD for one day! There are good hotels in the area but don't use the all inclusive."
" There are so many dive sites near this resort area. It's hard to describe just one. However, the Nursery and Metro are must visit sites. "
" Just at the airport bypass. This is one of the Western Hemisphere's first marine national parks. The Limon, a 40-ft vessel was sunk here for reef protection and diving. "
" A naturally grown coral reef with a perpendicularly tapered steep face at the north side "
"A naturally grown coral reef that looks like a garden.You can find a lost diving boat there, too. "
"A coral reef with the shape of a huge underwater mountain, where Baracudas are frequently observed. "
" 40m dive....once in life time "
"Not worth visiting for diving. Very little to see and the dives all the same. " "In response to the above comment I must disagree, we have dived in a variety of places around the island and have found the diving to change drastically between the different areas. The North Coast has great diving for the beginner to intermediate divers (5-34 m), there are also a number of places for cave diving, the South East has a large number of wrecks and very interesting dive sites including Saona, Catalina and Catalanita where you can see sharks, morays, rays only to name a few. " "We had six very enjoyable dives in early September with Gri Gri Divers at Rio San Juan. Plenty of colourful coral and a fair amount of fish / crabs etc." "Great food, great people, great diving and dolphins brilliant.

Santo Domingo "Mark Goldsmith and his team are not only top-notch professionals in terms of the care they give students, beginning divers, experienced divers, etc. they also firmly believe in protecting the environment. You will often see the SDDS dive leaders picking up trash left behind by less-eco concerned water enthusiasts. They know their stuff and are always ready to point out interesting formations, life forms, etc. We used a couple of other dive shops the Dominican Republic and were not impressed with the service or willingness of the dive masters to point out interesting sites. To them we were just dollars, not divers wanting to see and learn. Mark Goldsmith, the owner, has been a dive instructor in the Dominican Republic for about 12 years. He is well known and respected in the industry. "
