diving offers ideal conditions as the bay is relatively
calm all year round, with very little current or surge,
making this a perfect place to discover the underwater world
for beginners. For the more experienced of you Sosua offer
deep, wall and wreck dives.

don't go any deeper than 19m and have a lot of fishes and nice
corals.

In the year 1994 a small cargo ship with loading crane and tonnage
was sank for divers. Doors and windows were taken away to give
a safe dive. In this new habitat some fishes have settle down.
Some
operators offer excursions to Las Galeras at the East
coast or to Bayahibe, isla Catalina, Isla
Saona at the South coast in the Caribbean ocean.
