Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - St. George (Wreck) offers some of Bayahibe & La Romana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The St. George is a dive we always recommend in Bayahibe. This old cargo ship, sunk intentionally in the 1990s, rests upright on the seabed, with its deepest point at 33m. We usually start our dive exploring the bow and stern, often spotting schools of snapper darting in and out of the old cargo holds. Visibility averages around 18m, giving you a good view of the structure and the grunts and angelfish that call it home. It's a solid wreck dive, suitable for advanced open water divers comfortable with depth, but newer divers can still enjoy the shallower sections around 15m. Keep an eye out for nurse sharks tucked under ledges.
