Dominican Republic
Our PADI 5 star IDC dive centre, Reef Oasis Dive Club, is located on the South East coast in Bayahibe, only a short drive from the capital Santo Domingo.
The warm tropical waters of the Caribbean island, the Dominican Republic, is only a short flight away from the east coast of the USA and Canada and is serviced by direct flights from Europe. The perfect place for your PADI IDC.
Scuba Diving
The diving out of the Dominican Republic is just breathtaking. We have two wrecks on offer. The one pictured here is the St. George, which was purposely sunk as an artificial reef. Just a short 5 minute boat ride from the beach, she lies in 30 meters with the superstructure in about 12 meters.
Water temperatures vary between 25C in the winter to 29 to 30 C in the summer months. It is rare to have less than 30 meters visibility on the wreck. Your PADI Wreck specialty instructor training is done on this wreck.
