Looking at going to Punta Cana next month. I wouldn't mind doing some diving while I'm down there. Any recommendations on all inclusive resorts with easy access to diving? I was looking at the Punta Cana Princess Resort.

The diving in Punta Cana isn't that great. All the hotels have an in-house dive op and they are all pretty much the same. The best diving is on the south coast in Bayahibe. If you can't get to Bayahibe and end p diving in Punta Cana there is a wreck (The Astron) and other than that there is a reef around 200 metres off-shore that has some decent life (nurse sharks, morays). There is strong surge (which isn't a problem once you get the hang of it) and visibility was around 80 feet when I was there.
If you are coming for a scuba diving vacation, Punta Cana is not the best area. If you enjoy resorts and nice beaches, Punta Cana is a place to go.
Most divers will tell you that diving around Bayahibe is the best, there are few AI resorts in the area too
