Boat trips to Catalina, Saona & the St. George wreck. PADI courses, Nitrox, cave diving and excursions — run by a small Swiss-Dominican team since 1991.
From a 30-minute try-dive in shallow water to full PADI certifications and boat excursions to the islands — we built each package around how much time you have.
1–10 dive packages to the Caribbean reef, wrecks & caves. Morning departures.
from $44 →From first breath underwater (DSD) to Rescue Diver. English, German, French, Spanish, Russian.
from $95 →Saona, Catalina & El Peñon. Non-divers welcome. Buffet, snorkeling, swimming.
from $30 →A small Swiss-Dominican dive school on the Bayahibe shoreline — run by people who actually dive here every day, not a corporate chain.
We take small groups out every morning to the most beautiful dive sites in the Dominican Republic. Rays, lobsters, morays, barracudas and sunken freighters — the St. George lies 73 meters long on the sea floor since 1990, and you can swim its deck on a single tank.
Beginners ride with us too: we run the full PADI ladder from Discover Scuba Diving to Rescue Diver, with an EFR first-aid module and Nitrox speciality on site.
Simple packages. No hidden fees. The more dives you do, the less each one costs.
Every course meets international PADI standards. We teach in English, German, French, Spanish and Russian — in small groups or one-on-one.
