[hqduong]

How is the scuba here compared to Cancun and Cozumel?

Neither compare to Cozumel.

Diving in Punta Cana is not the greatest. There's some nice fresh water diving on the island. Have you looked at Turks & Caicos? - much better diving - nice walls and reefs.

Diving in Punta Cana is pretty boring (unless you're there anyway and just want to get wet). The south coast...La Romana/Bayahibe has some very nice diving on the other hand.

I've been looking at Puerto Plata - the reviews and posts that I found all seemed to point to the north shore as a being better. BUT, I haven't been there yet!
Turks & Caicos is definitlely one of the places to go on my list; I'm considering Tobago for next summer, but haven't found much on it yet.

I am going to la Romans/bayahibe next month, I will dive there, for what I have read bayahibe is the diving spot in Dominican republic because is on the Caribbean side. Punta cans is not a good place to dive because the reefs are mute exposed to the currents of the Atlantic...
