Parede - Dominican Republic

Parede, just a short boat ride from Bayahibe, offers a relaxed dive with a good mix of corals and reef fish. We usually drop onto a rounded reef that tops out around 10 meters, sloping down to 21 meters. It’s an easy drift most days, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers or those looking for a leisurely second dive. Keep an eye out for grunts schooling near the coral heads and the occasional Hawksbill turtle gliding past. You’ll spot barberfish, doctorfish, and often some decent-sized hogfish picking through the sponges. Visibility averages around 17 meters, so you get a good view of the reef structure and the creatures that call it home.
