Diving in Punta Cana

The coastline of Punta Cana is home to the longest reef in the country which stretches north to Bavaro. Here you’ll find an exciting variety of dive environments from caves and canyons to shallow reefs and wrecks.

Game fish and larger species like small sharks and rays are a common sight on the reefs and wrecks of Punta Cana. Nurse sharks are the most seen inhabitants in this region of the Dominican Republic and are more than likely hiding away in the caverns and wrecks.

At night, the lobsters, morays, and octopus actively hunting for the dinner, so schedule at least one night dive. Lucky divers might even hear the song of the humpback whale while under the water.
