Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Catalina Wall offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Catalina Wall offers a good drift along a sheer drop-off off Catalina Island. We often find ourselves gliding past sporadic barrel sponges and black corals, keeping an eye out into the blue for eagle rays. Turtles occasionally cruise by too, usually loggerheads or greens. This site is a solid intermediate dive, a reliable choice for a second or third dive of the day when you're looking for something straightforward and scenic.
