SCUBA DIVING IN BAVARO - PUNTA CANA
Dressel Divers Dive Center & Shop

Join us for top-notch scuba diving in Punta Cana and Bavaro. Dive among coral gardens and through underwater passageways that are often home to lone nurse sharks. From the famous Astron wreck in Bavaro all the way to Punta Cana, scuba diving sites populate this seemingly endless coconut beachfront. Thirty kilometers of ideal scuba diving reefs!

Punta Cana and Bavaro share the country’s longest reef system.  Perfectly located, Dressel Divers’ dive shop makes it possible to explore the very best dive sites with minimum boat travel. And short as they may be, the boat rides offer guests fantastic views of the lagoons and Punta Cana coastline.

While resting comfortably on your beach chair in front of the dive center, you will be able to see the silhouette of the Astron wreck partly above the surface. A constant reminder of the amazing wreck dive that awaits you, the vessel’s bow points towards a long stretch of scuba diving sites that feature coral gardens, impressive passages and canyons.

Depending on the time of the year, scuba divers in Punta Cana may also be privileged to hear the underwater song of a humpback whale and even see the splash of its massive tail further out at sea.

NITROX AVAILABLE!* Dive longer and safer with our NITROX cylinder rentals and enhance your underwater adventures.

*Nitrox tank rental availability is subject to in-house compressor capacity and operational status.
