Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Playita offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Playita is a shallow, relaxed dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a longer bottom time. The site is a mix of sand flats and seagrass, home to trumpetfish and harlequin bass. We often spot rough-tail and peppered gobies amongst the turtlegrass and manatee grass. It’s a good spot for macro photography or just getting comfortable in the water.
