CATALINA ISLAND EXCURSION DIVING & SNORKELING

CATALINA ISLAND

Catalina Island is an uninhabited paradise located in the Caribbean Sea, near our southern coast of the Dominican Republic, but with all the necessary infrastructure for the visitor's enjoyment.

The Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Excursion in Catalina Island is a full day in duration. The pick-up is at 7:15 am at the hotel or place where you are staying (the pick-up time may vary depending on your location). The journey from Punta Cana is 1 hour to reach Bayahibe.

Once in the town of Bayahibe we will arrive at the dive center to prepare our equipment, and we will embark from the port of Bayahibe when our boat is ready. The navigation time will be about 45 minutes, until we reach our first diving and snorkeling stop, in a place called “The Wall”.

The Wall is a beautiful reef in the Caribbean Sea with warm and crystal clear waters perfect for diving and snorkeling at the same time, thanks to its depth difference, between 4 to 30 meters (13 feet to 100 feet). We assure you to see beautiful coral gardens full of life during your snorkeling activity, while divers can descend through its amazing wall enjoying all kinds of underwater life.

Divers will follow the instructions of our Dominican Divers Instructors, to always enjoy the experience with maximum safety. Paying important attention to the bottom times, the depth limits set by your dive guide and the diving standards according to your certification.

While the snorkeling people will enjoy the activity, always accompanied by a snorkeling guide or under the supervision of the ship's staff. Without leaving the area marked by your guides.

At the end of the first activity, the snorkelers go to Catalina Island to enjoy its paradisiacal beach, while the divers will visit the second diving place, called "Aquarium", with a depth of 12 meters (40 feet), perfect for beginner divers or for certified divers. On the Catalina Island Diving and Snorkeling Excursion we can find a wide variety of coral reefs and abundant underwater life such as tropical fish, moray eels, crabs, turtles or eagle rays, even smaller life such as seahorses.

After so much excitement you will be hungry!!

Well, on the beach of Isla Catalina you will enjoy a typical Dominican buffet (grilled chicken and pork chops, rice, pasta, potatoes, vegetables, salad, bread and fruit) and an open bar with water, soft drinks, beer or Dominican Rum. This is a great time to share stories with dive buddies and guides about what you saw on the dives!

After lunch you will have time to have a drink at the bar, take a swim or relax on one of the sun loungers. At the time set by the excursion guides, you will embark again to begin the navigation back to the port of Bayahibe. Enjoy the return listening to music and having a drink while observing the landscape of the southern coast of the Dominican Republic. Our transportation will be waiting for us, to return to Punta Cana back to your hotel.
