My husband and I are finally going to get to DR, our trip was sidelined 4 years ago by his bout with cancer. We are both divers and my hubby won't go anywhere that's not a dive destination. I don't know which part of DR is the most desirable for this. We plan to go in February, so I'm starting now to get info.Flights aren't too bad yet; still in the $400+ plus range. Please give your suggestions and experiences..........Thanks in advance, Donna

I'm a snorkeler, not a diver, but I've found a whole lot more divesites than snorkeling in the area that I visit. I refer to the Bayahibe area of La Romana on the south coast. You posted under Samana but are asking for suggestions for which part of the island to head to so I offer it.

I can send you a couple of maps highlighting some of the divesites if you're open to that area and interested.

You can fly into Punta Cana, Santo Domingo OR La Romana to get to that area.

Hi Donna,

We live in Bayahibe, south side of Dominican republic. My husband is a dive instructor, dove for 2 years around Sosua area on the north coast, last year we moved here and he loves the diving here much much more. If you want to see some under water pictures from this area my husband took, check http://divingdr.com/photo-gallery/

You can contact me if you have some diving or non diving questions
