The Scuba Diving is excellent with the Wall & Aquarium....the meals, food, and drinks subpar. Nice beach. - The Scuba Divers get to share the boat with snorkelers so the ratio of dive master to divers end up being quite good. The food, drinks, is not great. The beach time is fun. Dive Master's should focus on safety stops a bit more after the Wall Dive. The second dive is quite shallow so no problems. This is good however for couples where there is one diver and one non diver because you can meet up at the beach for lunch and beach time. The bus from Punta Cana to the La Romana marina has two bathroom stops where they give you a chance to shop or grab something to eat if you missed breakfast on the way and on the way back major shopping but delays other guests as they break up a big bus into smaller vans for final destination transport to individual hotels.....

this was a little unorganizied until... - <p>this was a little unorganizied until we got on the boat to go to catalina Island what i mean is we got picked up at 7:00 a.m no breakfast as the resort does not have any out yet at Majestic in punta Cana and after many stops not only at different resorts but also meeting other buses or vans only to be told ok you have to all get off and switch it another bus then once we were off get told oh no thats wrong all back on that same bus and then we have to also stop at a tourist trap to take a bathroom break seriously just get us to the port 3 1/2 hours later we finally get on the boat to dive and snorkel and we finally get a drink the only reason I am giving this high star rating is because these dives and snorkels were beautiful and Alec our tour guide was awesome once again its a fun day just remember to bring snacks because again our noon lunch on the island was not until 1:30 the beach paradise beach was beautiful but wear watershoes because there is a lot of corral and it is hard to walk in the water or on the beach</p>

Long ride but beautiful beach - By the time the bus picked us up and we picked up people at other resorts we spent one hour and fifty minutes on the bus, note they had the bathroom on the bus so we couldn't use, a few of us barely made it after morning coffee. They told us it would be fifty minute ride. My husband dive and the coral wall was food but snorkeling was just ok and because of so many boats we had to stay within a small space. We could only snorkel off the island with guide and not much to see. Fed us lunch nothing special but filled you up. Our boat ride home was very rough, white caps after a storm went through
