About Chorizo
Chorizo is a shallow Caribbean reef off Punta Cana and Bavaro. The site combines colorful coral with a white sandy bottom, making a relaxed boat dive with enough structure for beginner-level pacing and still plenty for advanced divers to enjoy. Divers come for sea fans, barracuda, stingrays, eagle rays, nurse sharks, and a broad mix of tropical fish, and the short boat run keeps the day simple.
