Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Roccadilly offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Roccadilly sits just a ten-minute boat ride from Boca Chica, tucked into the lagoon. It’s a comfortable dive, topping out around 21 meters, making it a good choice if you're just starting out or prefer a more relaxed pace. We often spot plenty of French grunts and angelfish, with barber and blue doctorfish darting through the coral. Keep an eye out for yellowhead jawfish peeking from their burrows. Visibility averages around 15 meters, so it’s easy to take in the large sponges that sometimes house a king crab or two.
