Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Bajos del Catalina offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Bajos del Catalina sits a short boat ride from Bayahibe, a decent option for an afternoon dive if you're staying in the area. We’ve found the reef here offers a pleasant drift, with the current often gently pushing you along. You’ll see the typical Caribbean suspects: schools of blue tangs, some parrotfish munching on the coral, and often a few green morays peeking out from their holes. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting your bearings or for a second tank after a deeper morning exploration.
