From Punta Cana, we transfer by bus to the south coast of the Dominican Republic, the area of Bayahibe.
Bayahibe is pure Caribbean! There, at the splendid Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus hotel, DRESSEL DIVERS has another Diving Center that serves as base of operations. Our boats that leave to the different islands of this area: Saona Island, and Catalina Island , depart from there.
The excursions to each of these Islands offer the opportunity to enjoy 2 fantastic dives.
You also get to enjoy a typical local lunch at a secluded tropical beach.

SAONA Island
The reefs of Saona are also considered to be some of the best in the Dominican Republic.
Most of this island is also part of a Protected Natural Park, (Park of the East), and has no construction (and we trust never will) to deteriorate its exuberant beauty: it is absolutely virgin.
Among the most famous sites are: La Parguera, Cacon, El Faro, El Canal, Palmilla, El Penon and many more that we are discovering at present exclusively for you, since the diving/snorkelling on this island is inexhaustible and recently discovered.
You will see infinity of submarine species among which: nurse sharks, green moray eels or lobsters.
There are enormous sponge formations where you will discover huge crabs and schools of fish of different species. The trumpet fish, trying to change colour between the branches of the coral formations, or the balloon fish, or the spotted eagle ray, etc. Lovely dive companions… don’t you think?
We guarantee that you will love this island and its astounding reefs.
During the trip back, also to the rhythm of a cool drink and meringue music, we will make a stop in the famous ´natural swimming pool´ located in the middle of the sea, close to the coast, where you can get of the boat and walk or sit on the sandy bottom.
While you enjoy your favourite drink, insure not too tread on any large starfish, as there are many on the bottom.
You simply have to see .....
THESE TRIPS CAN BE SHARED WITH TAVEL PARTNERS THAT SNORKEL.
While you dive, they snorkel.
BAYAHIBE Day and night
In the afternoon we organize a trip by bus to the Hotel Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus, in the Bayahibe area, for a true adventure.
First we will dive the "Saint Georges" wreck, undoubtedly one of the best dives in the Dominican Republic, for lovers of undersea adventure.
Our guides will show you all it's mysteries without exposing you to any risks whatsoever.
As a second dive, a night dive on the reefs of Bayahibe that, if magnificent during the day, at night are even more so, allowing us to discover a fauna in full activity.
The night allows us to discover a completely different world to the one we visit during daytime, with a rich variety of species that rest during day.
We will appreciate better the range of colours of the sea bottom. A unique adventure in an incomparable setting.
Dinner will take place in a restaurant along the calm Caribbean shore line, where we will be able to share our dive experiences lived that day or any other that our diver friends want to share. We will see when we feel like going back to the hotel . don't you agree ?
