Exploring new dive sites around Bayahibe is very exciting and it’s our passion, especially if we can find more sites with sharks or new wrecks.

We’ve heard from locals that there are many other areas that could be interesting and they see sharks frequently there. The local fishermen are the best source of info, they know their waters the best.

We spent all day going to different spots we’ve heard about, did few dives, but unfortunately we couldn’t see any sharks. Little tired, we decided to return and were going slowly back to Bayahibe bay, when we spotted a group of dolphins. And that was as exciting as finding anything new under water. They were jumping and playing around our boat for about an hour. So our expedition was succesful at the end, we saw something that we don’t see here everyday. Look at the short video we made.

Dolphins in Bayahibe Dominican Republic

We met Mike and his family that wanted to see the underwater world for a first time. Everything went well and they had a great first time diving experience. Hopefully they will become a part of the diving community in the near future.

Then we did the cave dive with their son (experienced diver already) and he loved it. The cave dive seams to be the most popular dive these days.

Thanks guys for diving with us, hope to see you in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic again!

We wanted to go and check how much if any dive sites were damaged by the storms we had last month and if the visibility was getting better. We went to Dominicus reef, Coco wreck and to La Roca (that is a great site to dive). It has been two weeks since the last storm, water was nice and calm, some of the reefs were still covered by the sand but clearing well. The visibility was getting back to normal.

We had fun week of diving with two guys from Florida. They chose the best weather they could, came after the tropical storms Hanna and Ike and before Josephine that caused lots of flooding in our area

We did many dives,  Park, Tortuga, wreck, Stingray point and cave dive, just to name a few.

Some highlights from the week of diving:

Tortuga – we saw school of  more then 10 eagle rays which is very unusual, they were about 30 ft away from us but guys were not looking so I made a mistake and used my shaker to get their attention instead of taking pictures first. Therefore the eagle rays changed the direction and swam away before I had a chance to take a single picture

Stingray point – the ocean was still little unsettled after the storms but we saw about 15 stingrays, and that was the least amount of stingrays we’ve seen diving there. Normally there are more then 50 of them.

Wreck St.George – we saw two huge barracudas

Last dive was the cave dive – the best dive of the week. No words can describe the beauty, so see some pictures instead.

Thanks guys for coming and diving with us, hope to see you back in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic again in the near future

Anchor is our favorite dive site for new divers. It’s shallow and lots to see.

The visibility was great, but unfortunately we didn’t have the underwater camera with us.
