What is this tour like?
Two guided dives off Bávaro in a group of no more than four per PADI guide, with free transfer from Bávaro. $129 per person.
The four-per-guide cap is the point of this one. On a busy reef the difference between four divers and a dozen is how long the guide can hold a position when something is worth looking at, and how quickly a problem gets noticed.
The operator does not publish a fixed site list: the outing is adjusted to the conditions of the day and the level of the group. That is honest about how the Bávaro coast works, where swell and visibility move around through the season.
Transfer from Bávaro is free. If what you actually want is the Bayahibe side — the St George wreck and the Atlantic Princess — the same operator runs that day at $175 per person, and it is a different trip rather than an upgrade of this one.
What are the highlights?
- A hard cap of four divers per PADI guide
- Free transfer from Bávaro, no supplement to argue about
- The sites are chosen on the day for the conditions and the group
