Overview
During this unforgettable Saona excursion, divers will explore two top dive sites situated near the east of the national park. We will begin our day departing from Punta Cana and making our way towards the town of Bayahibe. Upon arrival, guests will prepare equipment and board a comfortable dive catamaran. Our first dive site is the Atlantic Princess wreck and here, divers will meet with their assigned divemaster and prepare for the first dive and snorkelers will also receive the equipment. We will then continue to the second dive site, cruising along the eastern sector of the national park. Upon completing our second dive/snorkel, divers and snorkelers will be dropped off at Saona Island where a buffet-style lunch awaits. With free time after lunch, guests will be able to sunbathe, swim in the warm Caribbean waters or simply explore the island. We will end the day with a stop at the natural pool known for its starfish and waist-deep crystal waters.

The experience was both fun and professional. The boat crew clearly knew what they were doing, and enjoyed doing it. While I was there by myself, there were both small children and older adults on the excursion, and the crew were very courteous and appropriately helpful with both.
Professional team, both dives in Playa Blanca were great and we got to see many turtles, rays and tons of fishes. I will choose that same dive shop when I dive in Punta Cana again in the future.
