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.
