Coral Point Diving

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

The team at Coral Point Diving are the real deal if you’re looking to dive in Punta Cana, especially if you’re serious about your PADI certs. They’re a 5 Star IDC Resort, which tells you they’re top-tier for training, from beginner courses all the way up to Instructor Development. What we really appreciate about them is their genuine passion for teaching; you feel it from the moment you step into their shop. We love that they often head out to some of the lesser-dived sites in the area, meaning you’re less likely to be bumping fins with another group. Our favourite spots they visit include the local wrecks, where you can often spot nurse sharks tucked away in the shadows, or schools of jacks swirling in the current. Visibility around Punta Cana can vary, but Coral Point does a great job of picking the best daily conditions, often suggesting morning dives for calmer seas. If you’re a diver who values solid instruction and a friendly, unhurried atmosphere over a crowded boat, these are your people.
