I just returned from Bayahibe, DR on Feb 20, 2017 after 7 days of diving most of the near shore sites that are easily accessible by boat and relatively close to shore of the Parque National Park as well as the two nearby islands, Saona and Catalina. Dove with Scuba Fun and was treated to an outstanding week of diving along some of the best reefs I have ever seen at depths of 30-40 feet, easy diving, no waves or strong current, 75-100+ feet of vis and low 80's water temp about same as air temp. A few passing rain clouds that disappear quickly. Perfect for lady divers and new divers that like beautiful reefs. I also dove the St George wreck 2 times (100+ feet) and one other wreck near the main harbor 20-30 feet. Niice mix of dive sites.
Bayahibe is a very small, older DR fishing village with several large resorts and many nice apartment units that are available for a week or more found on the usual travel motel web sites. This is a very safe city with most friendly local people that speak spanish and some english. Visitors don't need a car, as you can get ground transportation services from any airport and are able to walk around the entire city, dive shop and shore line to get on boat after having coffee at open aire restaurants nearby. Convert some US dollars to pesos and your good to go.
Contact Sanne, ( Sunny) Scuba Fun's office girl or the owner John Sack. My primary dive master was Gulash. He is always near by taking care of any issues I had or answering any questions, he was happy to get your gear on the boat and set up for the dive. He is a terrific DM and leads the way along the reefs as well as watching over everyone with care and kind manners. This DM truly loves his work!
The boats is a large catamaran with is comfortable and easy to move around. Every day there are two tank dive trip runs that from 9:00 AM until 2 PM or 3 PM. There are two Island BBQ lunches that were great after diving and really filled you up for a nice, relaxing hour or two on the beach before heading back to the village.
Easy to book one or more days of diving if staying in Punta Cana or La Roma and find transportation services.. Also Carnival cruise ships arrive frequently and diving can be arranged..
Thanks to everyone at Scuba Fun for an extraordinarily week of relaxed, wonderful diving.
