Coral Garden in Punta Cana is exactly what it says on the tin. It's a shallow, healthy patch of reef, mostly staghorn and elkhorn corals, that’s perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You’ll spot the usual Caribbean suspects: parrotfish munching on coral, a few curious damselfish, and occasionally a stingray gliding past. It's a nice, easy entry into Caribbean diving.
