I'm going to Punta Cana in the Dominican in a few months. Is there any good diving there that you would recommend? I'm staying at the all inclusive hardrock hotel and resort.

I had a good time diving down there . I have only dove cozumel,jamaca, and punta. All in all I had fun.The waves were pretty rough in june and i hear the winter can be pretty bad since its on the west side of the island on the atlantic side. The dive masters were telling me to take a day trip to the south side of the island wich is tthe carribean side. Its a national park that is loaded with coral and fish from the pics I saw. It has a wall dive as well.I was going to go but it was a two hour ride there and back. They said they sevrved lunch and had 2 and 3 tank dives available. I didnt get a chance to do it since i was there for 5 days for a wedding. Not to mention my pregnent wife was pretty cool about me doing 6 dives whil;e i ditched her. she got to hang out with my sobber family lol.
the water was a deep blue with plenty of rock formations ,sea fans ,algea,fish,softies. On my 50' dive the dive site was out there about a half hour and the current was pretty strong. There were a few ship wrecks that were pretty cool as well. Its not austraila but any time underwater is a good time. if you get motion sickness bring something for it heck bring it and take it anyway.

Not true. I was there in the spring and seen lots of coral. Huge brain coral, encrusting monti I believe, and a few others. And we weren't in the best spot either.

Unfortunately, a lot of the reefs around the Dominican Republic and Haiti have largely died off mostly because of overfishing, but also because of sedimentation and climate change. You can still find some nice areas though and the beaches are top notch around Punta Cana. A buddy of mine just returned from a dive trip to the DR and said most of the action was around sunken ships/wreck dives.

I wish I would have seen this before. We own property in Puerto Plata and Punta Cana and there are a few decent sites if you know who to guide your trip. Hit me up if you go again and I will hook you up.
