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!
