Isla Catalina Diving DR

Catalina Wall (Santa Catalina Wall) is considered one of the best walls in the Dominican Republic. Diving here is available for divers of all levels as the reef starts shallow and then drops off deeper. The wall is covered with a beautiful reef full of corals every color, shape, and size.

The wall in Catalina is one of the most famous dive sites in this area. The dive depends on your certification level but it is most beautiful around 12m-18m (40ft-60ft). Expect to see lots of fish going about their day as well as beautiful, colorful coral reef and sponges which are very extensive at the point of the walls drop off.

The island is a natural park with limited access; there is only one small beach where visitors are allowed to go to shore and is mostly not worth it as it is so crowded. The wall dive here of the island is spectacular and there is great shallow reefs for both diving and snorkeling.

An enjoyable, easy, shallow dive with lots of stingrays, lobsters, and reef life. Usually the second dive for dive charters due to its shallow depth. A great snorkel as well.

This wreck sits in the Bayahibe area, just in front of Dreams La Romana Resort. It is an old passenger liner, 30 ft wide and 99 ft long, sunk as an artificial reef in May 2009.

“La Playita“ in Bayahibe is a shallow dive site, ideal for beginners, with vibrant reefs full of corals and colorful marine life, perfect for baptisms and recreational diving. It’s not usually very busy.
