Featured dive spots for Puerto Plata and Sosúa
Use the map and cards to compare where to dive first.

3 Rocks
One of the easiest shallow targets in Sosua Bay, with rocky relief, fish life, and a profile that suits both beginner scuba and guided snorkeling.

Coral Gardens - Dominican Republic
Not every snorkeler needs it, but on settled days the healthy reef and miniwall character make this a rewarding guided upgrade from the beach shallows.

West Wall
When conditions settle, the reef edge provides more shape and variation than a flat sand practice area, while still staying close to shore logistics.
