Has anyone ever scuba dived here? I’m leaving Sunday & no one at my dive shop has any information. I don’t know if I should take my dive gear along & see what happens or just take my snorkeling stuff???


HELP

hey, punta cana is absolutely stunning, but for me the diving is less than spectacular. it’s caribbean clear, but the coral isn’t quite pristine. worth going once or twice, but so much to do in punta cana i wouldn’t spend the whole time underwater. altos de chavon! beacombing! salsa dancing! rum rum rum! dive shops will have basic rental gear if you don’t wanna travel with it. bon voyage!

Thanks! So I guess I will just bring my snorkeling stuff. What’s altos de chavon? I haven’t even looked online yet to figure out what we are going to do.

it’s a medieval village that sits above the river and it’s kind of in the middle of the jungle. they offer horseback riding tours that go into the clearing and it’s spectacularly beautiful. i think it’s worth a trek from bavaro beach.

Hey


How did your trip work out, my brother and I are leaving 9/26 for Punta Cana, any tips or advise on diving or the island in general. We are staying at Dreams.


Thanks
