Diving adventure at Catalina Island

A world-class underwater paradise just minutes from La Romana.

Discover one of the Dominican Republic’s most spectacular diving destinations with an unforgettable adventure to Catalina Island, a protected jewel within the East National Park (Parque Nacional del Este). This pristine island is famous for its powder-white sand beaches, warm turquoise waters, and exceptional marine biodiversity—making it a must-see for divers of all levels.

Your journey begins with a scenic boat ride across crystal-clear waters before arriving at the island’s world-famous dive sites. Catalina offers two of the most remarkable underwater spots in the Caribbean:

The Wall: A breathtaking 100–473-meter underwater cliff that descends into the deep blue. This dramatic drop-off is covered in vibrant coral formations, sponges, and marine life. Divers often encounter schools of tropical fish, rays, and occasionally sea turtles gliding along the edge of this natural wonder.

The Aquarium; A shallow, colorful reef system ideal for both beginners and experienced divers. Known for its crystal visibility and calm conditions, The Aquarium is home to lionfish, trumpetfish, angelfish, seahorses, and a dazzling array of corals. It’s a living kaleidoscope where every turn reveals a new species.

After your dives, enjoy free time on Catalina Island’s untouched beaches, where you can relax beneath the Caribbean sun, swim, or snorkel in tranquil waters. A delicious Dominican-style lunch is served on the island, accompanied by refreshing drinks to complete your perfect day in paradise.

Whether you’re seeking an exhilarating dive, a peaceful snorkeling experience, or simply a tropical escape, Catalina Island offers one of the most complete and memorable marine adventures in the Dominican Republic.
