Why dive here
With 250+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Patato offers some of Punta Cana's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Patato is a relatively shallow site off Punta Cana, good for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You’ll drift over a sandy bottom interspersed with small coral heads, home to schooling snapper and grunts. Keep an eye out for southern stingrays resting in the sand and the occasional green moray eel tucked into a crevice. It’s a pleasant, easy dive.
