Great experience! We were on a church mission trip and had a day off. Alessandro planned the whole day for all 20 of us. They picked us up at 8:15 AM and brought us back there at 4:30 PM at the end of the day. Our day included beach time/two snorkeling/scuba dives (18 snorkeling and 2 scuba) and a lunch buffet for all of us on the beach. Great job guys, see you next year!

On July 11, 2025, I had the great fortune to dive at Catalina Island, Dominican Republic. I completed two dives, and the experience was simply unforgettable. The first was at a depth of about 23 meters, exploring the impressive coral wall. I was able to observe lionfish, angelfish, boxfish, a wide variety of corals of different colors and shapes, as well as sponges… A truly spectacular underwater scene.
