The
fishing village Bayahibe is the best starting
point for diving in the Dominican Republic and
is also where you will find our dive center…
SCUBAFUN. In front of this small village begins
the very beautiful and protected park called Parque
Nacional del Este. Among its delicate ecosystems
are sea-grass beds, mangrove forests, rocky coasts,
sandy beaches, subtropical forests, and much more,
including the most important feature to us, the
incredible coral reefs. Within these rich, colorful
reefs, a myriad of sea life awaits you. Lobster,
eagle rays, manatees, whales, sharks, dolphins,
turtles and much more!
Facilities
We are a PADI dive shop with top of the line gear
for our customers to rent. We clean and store
all our customers gear if desired. Our staff is
very helpful and are ready to get our customers
in the water safely! We provide Nitrox and can
certify any divers wanting to acquire that capability
along with any other certifications they might
want (Open Water to Dive Master). We have 4 custom
built dive boats and two of these are 42 and 45
foot catamarans that make the ride very comfortable!
