Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Parque Nacional 1 offers some of Punta Cana's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Parque Nacional 1 offers a straightforward dive, suitable for divers looking for a relaxed exploration. We’ve found a mix of reef fish, often parrotfish and grunts, moving over a sandy bottom dotted with coral heads. It’s a good spot for a second dive of the day or for those getting comfortable in the water, typically with calm conditions.
