Plata diving divers of all levels to enjoy, shallow reefs,
fresh water cave diving and deep water diving.
Most dive sites are located in areas with little or no current
conditions which makes the diving easy.
The
visibility ranges from 70 - 100 feet.
There
is a great variety of dives among which are the "5
Rocks", where you will encounter 5 huge underwater
rocks with splendid coral formations. The good visibility
in this area allows you to see a lot of marine life, including
lobsters and crab and well-preserved coral.
For those
who have not yet been initiated to wall dives there is the Mini
Wall At 20 ft. the drop-off is a soft descent to 65 ft. with
good visibility all the way.
The
Arenaso Reef is great for beginners and certified
divers, with its flat reef of sand and coral where there are
many caverns and swim troughs. This dive is great
for photography.
The
Luperon Bay takes you to beautiful elephant ear coarls,
sponges and large sea fans. Marine life includes
small tropical fish, barracudas, large groupers
and snappers while as the Luperon Wall which
is a 75 to 130 foot wall dive is for advanced divers.The
Luperon Caves, one very popular dive site, with large
caves, easy for all levels of certification is 30 feet deep.
Airport
Wall is frequented by experienced divers and for
that reason, the delicate sponges and fragile fan
corals remain unspoiled. With good visibility at a depth
of 70 ft, this site features the "little cave"
where you can expect to see little cave dwellers such as
lobster and eel, who also find refuge in the carpet
of coral.
The Caves, two of them to be exact, are recommended
for experienced divers yet still give way for very easy maneuverability.
Characterized by their grand entrance, they extend approximately
50 ft. in length at a depth of 80ft.
Last
but not least for cave diving enthousiasts there is the
sunken cargo boat "La Zingara". The Zingara is
a 45-meter long cargo ship.
I just
wrote a few highligts but you can find more information in the
website of the local dive
centers.
