Diving in Dominican Republic

One of the rarest pleasures that the Dominican Republic offers is the opportunity to scuba dive and snorkel within coral reefs. Imagine exploring the wonders of one of the most biologically wonderful living structures in the earth, swimming through a warm ocean and marveling at the sight of the intricate coral reef ecosystem. La Cueva, Punta Cana is a shallow dive that offers an attractive collection of caverns and swim-throughs. Monica, Punta Cana was sunk in a storm about 90 years ago, the relics of this wooden-hulled railway cargo ship harbor railway ties, sugar plantation machinery and hoards of squirrelfish.
