Bayahibe

Bayahibe itself isn’t a single dive site, but rather the jumping-off point for a host of excellent dives in the area. Our pick, though, is the *St. George* wreck, a 73-meter freighter sunk deliberately for divers. We love how accessible it is, sitting upright in just 35 meters of water, with the superstructure starting around 15 meters. Dropping down onto the deck, you’re immediately enveloped by schools of horse-eye jacks, often so thick they shimmer like a living curtain. We always take our time exploring the bridge and cargo holds; the light filtering through the open hatches creates incredible shafts of blue, and it's here we’ve spotted some hefty moray eels peeking from shadowy corners. Keep an eye out for giant gobies on the sandy bottom nearby, too – they're surprisingly charismatic. The wreck’s sheer size means you’ll want more than one dive to properly explore, and the light currents here make it a relaxing drift along the deck. It's a proper wreck dive without the extreme depth, perfect for advanced open water divers looking to spend some real time exploring.
