Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Almendra offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest wall diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Almendra gives you a good feel for Bayahibe's underwater topography, starting with a gentle slope before dropping into a wall dive. We've often found it a solid choice for an afternoon dive, particularly if you’re looking to practice buoyancy or just enjoy a relaxed swim. Keep an eye out for yellowhead jawfish peeking from their burrows and plenty of French grunts schooling along the reef. It’s a site that works well for newer divers, with a maximum depth of 23 meters and typically calm conditions.
