Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Guaraguao I offers some of Punta Cana's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Guaraguao I sits just offshore in Punta Cana, a shallow dip perfect for shaking off the rust or getting comfortable underwater. At a steady 15 meters, it’s an easy drift over a mostly sandy bottom interspersed with small coral heads. You’ll often spot plenty of parrotfish munching away, the occasional stingray buried in the sand, and schools of grunts hanging out under any overhangs. It's a relaxed, no-stress dive, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a gentle afternoon dip after a morning of exploring further afield.
