Dive Ops Around Cabrera, DR

[HighSeasYoda]

Anyone have any recommendations on dive ops around Cabrera in the Dominican Republic? I want to set my brother and sister-in-law up with discover scuba while they are on vacation there in a couple of weeks. Not sure how the diving is in that area, but I'm guessing they will love it even if the diving is so so there. Thanks for any suggestions and advice!

I am not sure how good that would be for discovery scuba, it is the Atlantic side. It,s not too far from Nagua and the water around Nagua is always very rough. You can try to set something up in Sosua, but that would be about an hour drive from Cabrera.

Thanks the reply. I'll look into Sosua - appreciate the heads up about Nagua. Would the waters around Sosua be okay or is the whole north side not a good idea?


Thanks

Sosua is OK, of course it's not the Caribbean coast as we have here. I lived in Sosua area for two years and dove there all the time. Sometimes is just a bit tricky to get on / off the boat, specially for the beginners, when the ocean is wavy.
Try Merlin divers in Sosua, a good dive shop that cares about the safety.

Appreciate the info. I'll pass it along that it might not be the best for a first dive & also give Merlins a look. Thanks for the help.

I would give Northern Coast Diving a call, they have a dive boat that operates out of Gri Gri lagoon and they cover the whole of that area.
