Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Las Terrenas offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Las Terrenas, just off Bayahibe, offers a relaxed dive, topping out at about 12 meters. We usually find decent visibility, around 14 meters, making it a good spot for newer divers or those who just want to cruise. You'll navigate through a gentle mix of coral structures, some small canyons, and even a few little caverns that are fun to poke around. Keep an eye out for the usual Caribbean suspects: angelfish, parrotfish, and grunts are always milling about, and we’ve seen turtles here more than once. It’s a solid, easy dive, not going to blow your mind, but consistently enjoyable.
