About Dominicus Reef

Dominicus Reef is a Bayahibe boat dive off Dominicus Beach, reached on a short run from the main bay. The reef fingers mix coral and sand, so the route stays simple and the site is easy to read while still giving divers something to hunt along the edges. It works well for newer divers on calm days, but the current can build enough that a drift-style plan sometimes pays off.
