Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Nitrox Garden offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Nitrox Garden sits in the lagoon, about a 15-minute boat ride from the dive centers. We’ve found the buoy anchored around 20m, dropping down to a maximum of 29m on the northern side, with the southern wall continuing much deeper. Visibility averages a decent 16m. This spot is a good choice for divers looking to explore some small canyons and a boulder-strewn landscape. You’ll often find lobsters tucked away, and moray eels peeking from crevices. Keep an eye out for graysby and coney hovering over the hard corals. It’s also a solid spot for those working on their deep diving or EAN specialities, offering a bit more depth than some other local sites without being overly challenging.
