Dive sites
Underrated, uncrowded, and close to shore.
Sosua Bay has great sites for beginners and tougher ones for experienced divers — most just a 2–8 minute boat ride from the beach.
The sites
Where we dive.
Depths shown are maximums. Your guide will choose the best site for your group and the day's conditions.
3 Rocks & Coral Gardens
The perfect first dive: a sandy slope from 3m/10ft, friendly sergeant majors, staghorn coral nurseries and thousands of garden eels.
Airport Wall & Elephante
One of the best wall dives in the DR, with tunnels, swim-throughs and stunning bottom topography. Best in the morning.
The Zingara
A 30m/100ft former cargo freighter covered in coral, with a mooring line down to the chimney. For experienced divers.
West Wall & La Puntilla
Just a 30-second boat ride from the beach. Look for three sunken cannons from an old galleon, moray eels and seahorses.
Mini Wall / Deep Wall
Hundreds of sea fans line the reef top. We regularly see sea turtles, and it's a favourite spot for tiny seahorses.
Ray Point / Chiquita Reef
A sheer drop for advanced divers, with huge overhangs, fan corals and the chance of passing spotted eagle rays.

Lucky sightings
Whitetip reef sharks are sometimes spotted on our dives. They are lucky sightings, not something we can promise, but they are always a highlight when they show up.
