Highlights
  • Isla Catalina - Get picked up from your hotel and travel to the port of La Romana to board a boat heading to your first diving location. After an orientation and safety briefing by the dive master, change into your scuba gear and feel the adrenaline start pumping as you prepare for your first dive.

Start at The Wall on the east side of the island—one of the nation’s most pristine diving sites, with depths between 33 and 99 feet (10 and 30m). Beneath the surface, admire colorful coral reef gardens as well as other diverse marine life including octopuses, vase sponges, flamingo tongues, and lion and scorpion fish.

Dive in more shallow depths at The Aquarium on the opposite side of Catalina island, with a maximum depth of 40 feet (12 m). Explore the waters with the likes of moray eels, lobsters, and yellow stingrays in what’s considered one of the best dive sites in the Dominican Republic.

Follow up your scuba adventure with a delicious Caribbean-style buffet lunch and take advantage of the open bar amid the palm trees and white sands of a gorgeous Catalina Island beach.

Diving with Newton - Newton was one of the best dive masters we have had on a dive. He made sure to make the experience about us. He took our gopro and took pictures for us so we didn't have to worry about missing things.

Great dive and crew - The diving and my divemaster were great couldn't have asked for more. The lunch was good, the fruit amazing. That was pretty much the end of the good for this trip. The boat was so packed full people were sitting on the floor. This trip they also take people to snorkel as well. And from our hotel and most people we talked to it was a 2 1/2 to 3 hours drive to get there. The gear wasn't the greatest . Everyone had at least one leak on them somewhere. Overall I probably wouldn't do this particular dive again, unless I had my own transportation there and home.

I have been traveling for... - I have been traveling for years and this is the first review I have even written. The dive and my dive guide were fantastic. I would give them a 5 star rating. Getting to the excursion was a nightmare. My pick up time was 45 minutes late. I was brought to a parking lot where I was told to get on a bus. I was on for 5 minutes and then told to go on a different bus which I was on for 1 minutes and then after 25 minutes in the parking lot I directed to someones personal car. After an hour ride we were dropped off at the boat to take us out where we waited for 35 minutes then left the dock and waited a 100 yards away and waited to be cleared by the marine security for 45 more minutes. On the return was placed on a bus and went back to the parking lot and was told we would have to wait for 20 minutes. They put together the drop off list and told me I would be on the bus for about an hour. I then told them get me a car service and bring me directly to my hotel. This excursion took a title time of 12 hours and 15 minutes. Never again.

Not a reliable company… - On the day of our scuba trip, the company called us to inform us that the water was too rough to scuba, and we’d need to reschedule to the next day. We agreed to scuba the next day at the same time and be picked up at the same meeting spot. The next day came and we waited to be picked up, but nobody came. We tried calling and texting, but nobody ever answered or responded. Overall, I can’t speak to the experience as there was no experience for us, but this is not a reliable company.
