" Lots of great fish and rock formations "
Dan Kubiske, USA, 2007
Canyon, Sosua, North Coast

Rating: 4 stars

"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."
Tommy, 2006
Juan Dolio

" 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. "
Dan Kubiske, USA, 2007

Dominican Republic in General
"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. "
Tracy
"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."
Andy Holden
"Great food, great people, great diving and dolphins brilliant. "
Diane Martin

"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. "
