SCUBA DIVING IN PUERTO PLATA

DRESSEL DIVERS
PUERTO PLATA
Dive Center & Shop

Scuba diving in Puerto Plata you enter the ocean gateway to this New World. Numerous dive sites extend from here to Sosua Bay further east. The reefs near our Puerto Plata scuba diving center offer divers an opportunity to encounter fish species such as grouper, red snapper, and more, while enjoying the varied coral formations that are more abundant along the deeper walls including the renowned Airport Wall

On regular basis Dressel Divers also offers scuba diving trips to Sosua Bay, an area rich in corals and marine life. Each Sosua Bay dive comes with an abundance of coral and distinct species of fish, among them angelfish and trumpet fish.

Diving in Puerto Plata and Sosua, moreover, will ensure that the underwater vistas are complemented by majestic views from the dive boat.  The coastline is also close to an impressive chain of mountains, serving as a relief for the sea that brought Columbus to the Americas. As you dive the reefs you will no doubt sense the presence of some undiscovered shipwreck from days gone by.
