Edelweiss recommendation
The coast of Bávaro, just 15 minutes by car from Punta Cana, is littered with diving schools and diving centres offering excursions that cater to their clients’ preferences. Many of the dive sites are in shallow water and suitable for beginners. Most of the resorts across the island have house reefs and offer trial dives and introductory courses. A special highlight is the humpback whales that come to breed in Samaná Bay between December and April.
