Description

Step aboard your exclusive marine vessel for a full-day private charter, dedicated to exploring the unparalleled underwater majesty of Catalina Island, one of the Dominican Republic's most celebrated marine parks. This is not a standard group excursion; it is a meticulously tailored, all-inclusive dive experience designed solely for your party, ensuring maximum comfort, flexibility, and personalized attention from your expert crew. Begin with a smooth, private sail from the La Romana region, heading directly toward the pristine waters surrounding the island. Your professional, multi-lingual dive instructors and PADI-certified Divemasters will provide a comprehensive pre-dive briefing, ensuring safety and optimizing your immersion time, whether you are a newly certified adventurer or a seasoned diver. The itinerary features two distinct and renowned dive sites. First, descend into the depths of 'The Great Barrier,' a unique moniker for the famous Wall. This breathtaking drop-off is a natural spectacle, plunging from a shallow coral shelf into the deep blue abyss. Here, experienced divers can navigate the impressive vertical reef structure, observing vast schools of pelagic fish and unique sponge formations. The second dive site is the vibrant 'Coral Garden,' known to many as The Aquarium. This shallower, tranquil reef environment is an absolute treasure trove of tropical marine life. Expect to encounter playful Angelfish, graceful Stingrays, colorful Parrotfish, and a stunning variety of hard and soft corals that create a dynamic, living ecosystem. Each dive session is expertly guided to ensure you experience the very best of Catalina's aquatic wonders, with all necessary top-tier scuba equipment provided. Following your exhilarating underwater explorations, your private boat will deliver you to the secluded shores of Catalina Island. Here, move beyond the standard beach experience. Be welcomed to a reserved section of the pristine white-sand beach, where a sumptuous, traditional Dominican feast awaits. Indulge in an authentic BBQ lunch, featuring grilled meats, fresh salads, local sides, and seasonal fruits, all prepared fresh by a dedicated island chef. Throughout your time on the island and aboard the vessel, enjoy an unlimited selection from the open bar, serving national rum cocktails, refreshing soft drinks, and cold water. This private afternoon pause offers ample time to relax on a beach lounger, take a leisurely swim in the clear Caribbean sea, or use the provided snorkeling gear to explore the near-shore shallows at your own pace. As the day concludes, sail back, offering a scenic coastal cruise to reflect on your incredible private journey.
