I wouldn’t worry about the weather. If they cancel, they should return you your money. Check about that with them.

Also, Taino Divers dives relatively close to the shore. So I don’t think weather will have a big impact.
Weather can have a huge impact on a dive boat's ability to go out, even close to shore. Taino will cancel (like any other shop) if the current/waves are not favorable to good/safe diving.

Shore dives are also dependent on at least safe waves/current (right now nobody is in the water due to the storm surges coming from the North - it's a bit crazy out there!) - so yes, pre-book, but you can call a few days ahead of time to see how they are feeling about the forecast. And they are very good about cancellations - you'll never lose money due to a canceled dive.

Good luck with your plans and drop me a PM if you have any local questions!

@JossRincon is right! Weather has indeed been crazy. I didn’t know it was this bad so apologies for the incorrect advice. Any dive operator should indeed cancel in weather like this.
 
I'd do Parguera, to be honest - right now it's the most varied spot to go to. Paradise Scuba and Snorkel are AMAZING (we were just out there Thursday, actually, so sorry I didn't reply sooner!). We did an incredible wall dive and saw a couple of reef sharks close up, tons of Green Morays... it was great.

There is a nice spot in Parguera just opening up, the Parguera Plaza Hotel - we had a great stay for our little getaway. Let us know what you end up booking (call ahead asap to book!)
Just booked with Paradise diver's on 3/20-3/21 to dive the wall!
