The best diving sites!
As it was said, for a better experience, it is necessary to know before all where to go and where to dive, here are some sites that you can visit in the Dominican northern part
- EL FRONTON, located in Las Galeras, is a site with a heavenly beach. The reef opposite the beach is endowed with seawater that is only 17 meters deep, giving visitors access to the magnificent preserved beach, Playa Fronton.
- The Dolpin Wreck, this site is recommended for professionals, but it certainly has one of the best
underwater landscapes in the country. Initially intended for scientific research, the Dolpin sank in the vicinity of Las Teresa in 2000, and since then it has been abandoned to form artificial reefs that divers can visit.
-Las baleinas, located again off Las Ballenas, where visitors can admire huge schools of sergeant majors, surgeonfish, and colorful corals a few meters underwater.
The best time to go diving?
Of course, Dominican waters are accessible all year round, but for a better experience, it is recommended to dive between June and September, when the waters are calm and offer favorable conditions for submerging.
