Why dive here
With 232+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Five Rocks offers some of Sosua & Puerto Plata's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Five Rocks is a good stop for spotting some of the smaller, shyer reef inhabitants in Sosua. We’ve often found fringed filefish hovering near the rocky outcrops and spotted mushroom scorpionfish blending into the seabed. It’s a shallower site, making it a relaxed dive for newer divers or those who enjoy taking their time to seek out camouflaged creatures. Expect to see plenty of slender parrotfish grazing the algae.
