WRECK DIVING
Wreck diving in
the Dominican Republic? Yes, "real" divers, wreck
addicts, and everybody else can enjoy wreck diving there!
Divers
can start by two wrecks in the underwater national park of Santo
Domingo.
The "Limon", a 115 feet/35 m tug boat
and the famous "Hickory", Bowman's
treasure hunting boat, a 130 feet/40 m transport freighter, both
lying perfectly in 60 feet/18 m depth.
Not to forget the
"Embassy" which you can visit during our trip
to the underwater island "Isla Bonita".
And right in front of our dive
base there is the Tanya V wreck. It was sunk on
October 21st 1999, creating a new dive site for local and
visiting divers alike. And so it is no wonder that it was the Neptuno team who explored the wreck first and set the buoy!
Approximately 195 feet/65m. in length, the
Tanya V now rests quietly on a sand bank at depth of 22-34m,
making it a good deep dive for experienced, advanced divers.
Although it's going to take time and patience for marine life to
flourish, already Tanya V has acquired her very own barracuda
guard!
We
offer half day
trips to the underwater national park of La Caleta with the opportunity of two
dives at two of the most impressive wrecks of the Dominican Republic, the
"Hickory" and the "Limon".
Price: US$ 69.- per person
includes bus and boat transfer and national drinks, dives not
included in the price.
The excursion is usually scheduled for Mondays.
