"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.

"Not worth
visiting for diving. Very little to see and the dives all the same. "
Matthew Moore
"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. "

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."

"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.
