Snorkeling in PUERTO PLATA with Dressel Divers
DRESSEL DIVERS
PUERTO PLATA
Snorkel Center & Shop
We offer top quality snorkeling in Puerto Plata and the Sosua area. Here snorkel trips offer distant mountain skylines! Relax and enjoy Puerto Plata’s snorkeling sites and aquarium underwater views. Without doubt you will enjoy an abundance of fauna and good visibility, at tropical water temperatures, that just make you want to stay in the water forever.
The coastline of Puerto Plata is very mountaineous sloping down to incredible beaches on which you will find our snorkeling shop and from where our snorkel boats leave. The ocean edge is not a limit to this impresive all round display of nature but a snorkel invitation to change the sea for the land and see what lies beyond and below.
If you have travel partners that are going diving, but you are not, snorkeling is definitely the way to observe the Puerto Plata under water life in a natural setting and keep your group together as you can join them on the same boat.
*The 20% discount online only applies to certain products.
*Currently, all dives depart from Sosúa Beach.

Daily Puerto Plata Snorkeling Trips
Every morning we organize a snorkel trip that offers you 2 fantastic snorkel sessions on the very best reefs in and around Puerto Plata. We will make a splendid boat trip of about 15 to 30 minutes to our objective.
We offer different snorkel sites, among them the reefs of Sosua, to the south of Puerto Plata, with an ample variety of corals, and distinct species of fish like The Angel Fish and the Trumpet Fish.
The second area is located in front of Puerto Plata airport, at a distance of 15 minutes by boat from the beach of Iberostar. In this area you will encounter fish species such as those of the grouper family, red snapper etc.
The practice of snorkeling does not require special training, only that you are able to swim and find comfort in water. Besides the standard equipment, a mask with snorkel tube and fins, we provide snorkel vests to allow you to determine your buoyancy and float without any effort over the wonderful Puerto Plata reefs.
Our snorkeling is by boat to ensure you visit the best sites. Their design facilitates comfort plus easy entry and exit to and from the water.
