You can combine with the family or people who do not dive the excursion to Catalina Island, where you can enjoy diving in a coral wall and reef or you can dive in our excursion to Bayahibe, where in addition to wonderful coral bottoms you can visit, depending on your certification of diving, two shipwrecks.
One of them is the St. George, recognized in the Caribbean for its majesty of its 80 meters in length that have been sunk since 1999. It allows you to penetrate many areas of the ship that remains whole thanks to its depth, which ranges from 25 up to 44 meters.

To dive as a certificate it is necessary  to be able to show their certification whenever requested (physically or digitally). Also, if you have not dived for two years or more, you will need to do a Refresh program in the pool, at least the day before the excursion.

If you are not yet certified, you can choose between the DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) program or a PADI or SSI diving course. In the case of wanting to dive on the Catalina excursion in Bayahibe, you must take the corresponding theory classes and pool sessions the day before the activity.

All dives are always done under the supervision of an Instructor or Divemaster.

If you want to dive the St. George but don’t have an advanced certification that allows you to dive at that depth, feel free to ask for information to become an Advanced Open Water Diver, you won’t be disappointed.

If you want to dive in the best places in Bavaro and the Caribbean, we recommend that you get a diving package so that you can get a better price for everything.
