Diving in Bayahibe Dominic Republic with Scuba Fun

[Torontonian]

La Romana port is about 15 minute drive from Bayahibe where most of the trips start.

Thanks. That helps in the planning.

Any thoughts on how the diving on your trip compared to other places you've been in the Caribbean? You mentioned wrecks; how was the reef? See any large animals?

I'm trying to get a feel for how it stacks up against other destinations, like Cozumel, Bonaire, St. Thomas, etc... Is it mainly one of those places for the seasoned traveler who wants a new place, or should it be on the radar of fairly new tropical traveling divers.

I have dived Bayahibe and I would describe it as "middle third" in Caribbean terms (about on par with or possibly slightly below St Thomas). But the wreck of the St George is a very nice dive, although I acknowledge it is an artificial reef.

I have never never dived Cozumel or Bonaire so I can't state definitively, but they certainly have a strong reputation in terms of Caribbean diving.
