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!
