Punta Cana Scuba Diving Details

Comfortable Transportation
Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or accommodation in Punta Cana around 7:15 a.m. (the exact time will depend on your location). Enjoy a relaxing drive to Bayahibe, a seaside town about an hour away, where your boat to Catalina Island will be waiting.

Catalina Island Boat Tour
From Bayahibe, you’ll board a boat for a scenic 45-minute ride across the Caribbean Sea. Relax and take in the beautiful views as you make your way to Catalina Island, known for its clear waters and rich marine life.

The Wall – Dive & Snorkel Spot
Your first underwater stop is «The Wall», a well-known dive and snorkel site. Here, you’ll explore an impressive coral reef that drops steeply from shallow waters (about 4 meters / 13 feet) to deeper areas (up to 30 meters / 100 feet). It's perfect for both divers and snorkelers to spot tropical fish and vibrant coral formations.

The Aquarium – Vibrant Dive Site
Next, divers head to «The Aquarium», a second dive site with a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet), ideal for beginners and certified divers alike. This reef is full of colorful marine life, including tropical fish, moray eels, rays, and turtles. Meanwhile, snorkelers head to Catalina Beach to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Catalina Island Beach Time
After your underwater exploration, it’s time to unwind on Catalina Island’s beautiful beach. Swim in the warm waters, relax on a sun lounger, sip a refreshing drink, and capture stunning photos of this tropical paradise.

Traditional Dominican Buffet & Open Bar
Enjoy a delicious Dominican buffet on the beach, with an open bar available throughout your time there. After lunch and relaxation, you'll board the boat for a scenic ride back to Bayahibe, enjoying music and drinks along the way. Upon arrival, your transportation will be ready to take you back to your hotel in Punta Cana.
You’ll join this adventure with the best dive company in Punta Cana, led by certified instructors.
