About Bayahibe
Bayahibe is a south-coast Dominican dive base where reef, wreck, and park diving sit close together. Most outings leave by boat and stay in calm Caribbean water, with quick access to shallow reefs, shipwrecks, and Cotubanamá National Park routes that add caves or swim-throughs. The shallowest excursions can also work for snorkeling, while the park’s deeper routes reward certified divers who want more structure and variety.
