Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - La Parguera offers some of Punta Cana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
La Parguera offers a straightforward dive in the Punta Cana area. Expect a relaxed drift along a gentle slope, where we often spot stingrays settled on the sand patches and schools of grunt sheltering under small coral formations. It's a decent option for those looking for a relatively easy dive after a boat ride out, especially if you enjoy spotting smaller reef fish.
