Dominican Republic  Snorkeling

 

Sharing an island with the country of Haiti, the Dominican Republic is situated in the Caribbean between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.  The blue Caribbean waters are one of the major reasons that tourists flock to the Dominican Republic.  Underneath the deep blue waters, an underwater world is ready to be explored by scuba divers and snorkelers.  The elaborate reef systems just off the coast house a vast array of ocean life.  The beach town of Sousa is one of the most popular among those looking for snorkeling in the Dominican Republic.  Sousa Beach is a sheltered cove and the reef can be easily accessed from the beach.  Another great place for Dominican Republic snorkeling is Isla Catalina is a small island off of the Dominican Republic that is surrounded by a very healthy coral beach.  The white sand beaches provide easy access.  If you are interested in chartering a boat, there are several worthwhile spots off of Punta Cana.  An area called “The Aquarium” or the reef off of El Cortecito beach are both popular stops for excursions.
