Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Catalina The Wall offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Catalina The Wall is a dependable choice when you’re diving out of Bayahibe. The reef starts shallow, right around 5 meters, before a gentle slope carries it down to a consistent 20-meter max, making it a comfortable drift for most divers. We’ve seen a decent showing of sponges and healthy hard coral here, providing good homes for things like Yellowhead Jawfish peeking from their burrows, and sometimes even a Blue-spotted Cornetfish hunting in the shallows. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics moving through the blue, though we’ve found the real draw to be the smaller reef life. Visibility usually hovers around 18-20 meters, clear enough for easy viewing.
