Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Cabu offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest drift diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Cabu, just a short boat ride from Boca Chica, is a solid choice for an easy dive in the Bayahibe area. We often find it's a good spot to get back into the swing of things, with depths bottoming out around 24 meters – comfortable for most divers. You’ll weave through some decent coral formations, keeping an eye out for yellowhead jawfish peeking from their holes or schools of French grunts congregating. Visibility hangs around 15 meters, enough to enjoy the reef’s colours and maybe spot a hogfish or two foraging amongst the corals.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
