Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Chorizo offers some of Punta Cana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Chorizo is a solid, straightforward dive just a short boat ride from the Bahia Principe Hotel. We’re talking a maximum depth of 13 meters, so it’s a relaxed drift over a sandy bottom peppered with healthy corals, especially those lovely sea fans. Visibility usually hits around 16 meters, giving you a decent look at barracuda cruising by and lobsters tucked into the nooks. It's a comfortable spot, easy for newer divers to find their fins, but still pleasant enough for those of us who just want a chill hour in the water without too much fuss.
