Atlantic Princess
Boat dive · Wreck
A small wreck resting upright on a pale sandy bottom in shallow, calm water — an easy, atmospheric wreck dive that doubles as a great snorkel site.
About this site
The Atlantic Princess is one of three shipwrecks in the Bayahibe area and by far the most accessible. She sits upright on a pale sandy seabed in around 18 metres of calm, clear water, making her a comfortable wreck dive for all levels — and a wonderful snorkel site for non-divers. Coral and sponges have taken hold on the hull, and tropical fish swirl around the superstructure.
Marine life spotted here
- Tropical reef fish
- Moray eels
- Corals & sponges on the hull

St. George Wreck
A 1962 cargo ship sunk in 1999 and now one of the favourite dives in the whole Dominican Republic — an upright artificial reef in 30 to 40 metres, home to big schools of barracuda.
Santa Catalina Wall
One of the Dominican Republic's most spectacular drop-offs, off Catalina Island — a reef wall draped in sea fans and black coral, with turtles cruising the edge.
Aquarium Reef
Catalina's shallow coral garden, named for the clouds of tropical fish that fill the water. Easy, bright and perfect for every level — and for snorkellers too.
