Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Pica Rocca offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Pica Rocca sits a short boat ride from Bayahibe, nestled inside the lagoon. It’s a comfortable dive, rarely pushing deeper than 21 meters, which makes it a nice spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed bottom time. We’ve found the average visibility hovers around 15 meters here, enough to comfortably watch the resident graysby dart between coral heads. Look closely and you might spot yellowhead jawfish peeking from their sandy burrows or a shy king crab tucked into one of the larger sponges. It’s a good, easy dive, perfect for a second dip of the day.
