Why dive here
With 232+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - 3 Rocks offers some of Sosua & Puerto Plata's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
3 Rocks is a straightforward dive off Sosua, ideal for an easy afternoon in the water. We often spot schools of wenchman and slender parrotfish darting around the rocky formations. It’s a good spot for newer divers, or anyone looking for a relaxed outing without strong currents. Keep an eye out for the occasional mushroom scorpionfish camouflaged on the bottom.
