Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Coco Reef offers some of Punta Cana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Coco Reef in Punta Cana is a gentle introduction to Caribbean diving. Dropping to a maximum of 13m, it's a great spot for beginners and those looking for a relaxed dive. We typically see a few parrotfish, some small grunts, and maybe a lobster tucked into a crevice. It’s not a thrill-seeker's reef, but it’s calm and accessible.
