Natalia was our guide and dive master for the day. This was our first dive post certification, so I was pretty anxious prior to the dive. It was also our first boat dive and our first salt water dive. Natalia took her time explaining each dive location to us and briefed us on conditions, what we would be seeing, etc. By the time we were in the water for our first dive, I was completely relaxed. She was very patient with us the entire time and made sure to keep things at a comfortable pace for us. The visibility was awesome and the reef and marine life were beautiful!! I highly recommend a private tour with Sharky’s Crew! (Hint: Bring an extra $20 if you want a Sharky’s Crew t-shirt.)

I did 5 days of diving and my boyfriend did the Discovery Scuba Diving plus we did the day trip to Isla Saona. Everything was absolutely incredible, this is a professional shop with guides who know the area very well and pick dives on days based on what they know will be the best experience (considering visibility conditions and whether the dive site might be over populated that morning). Nati is a wonderful guide, so friendly and helpful and she has an excellent eye for spotting wildlife. I would HIGHLY recommend you dive with Sharky's! Thank you Nati and Peter for everything!!

We decided to book with Peter and Two Toes and it was one of the best decisions for our group of inexperienced divers. They took us out and it was an unbelievable experience. They are very personable and work directly with you showing you the best places and what to look for. They were able to find a seahorse and two large sting rays. Booking with them allows you a more private experience that allowed us an experience we will always remember.
I highly recommend booking with these guys!

Fantastic! This was the first time diving for our group. Three of us dived and one snorkelled for the first time. Nathalia was a super instructor, very clear, safety oriented, friendly, full of knowledge and fun. Eddie, our captain, made sure we got to where we needed and ensured our safety from above while diving. Peter arranged for our pick up and return to the hotel. Everyone at Sharky's was professional, friendly and great to work with. Reasonably priced for a private tour, so you can focus on the type of experience you are looking for. Saona island is amazing and our local lunch was great! I highly recommend this diving experience.

We booked a Christmas Eve diving trip with Sharky's and it was absolutely amazing! Peter and Natalka really know the best diving spots around the island. After 2 beautiful dives, they took us to Samoa Island for a private lunch on the beach, and on the way back, we had some fun wake boarding. All diving equipment was provided along with any information and guidance required. I cannot recommend them too highly, really nice to dive with a small and personal company who have your safety and enjoyment as the top priority.

this was my second time diving with this shop, and it was amazing as always! took my son with me for his 40th birthday, as I knew it would be a memorable time for him. great boat , top of the line equipment, julio is the best boat captain ever,always watching out for me, and peter has forgotten more about diving than most dive guides know. personalized service, an attention to details, and he will look out for you,no matter what your age, as I am 64, he made it easy for me. they picked us up on the beach, dive sites maybe 15 minutes away, great value all the way around, thanks again guys!!

It was a great vacation! The first place we stayed in the Dominican Republic is the town of Bayabe. The hostess of the hotel recommended a dive center to us, it turned out to be Sharkey Shop, we dived very well with these guys! Wonderful logistics organization, no more than four divers in the boat, almost private diving. We had a problem with the equipment, Peter changed the second stage of the regulator, in fact one regulator was leased to us for free! Each dive was in a new, interesting place, there was always water and snacks to eat at the surface interval. It was diving with friends. We are very grateful to this dive center for a wonderful time and wonderful memories. We recommend that you definitely enjoy diving in these places with real professionals and diving fans. When we left, Robert suggested where to buy souvenirs, good cigars and rum. Robert, Peter, Natasha - thank you for diving, friendship and great photos as a keepsake!

The dives with Sharkey's Crew was excellent!
We were two uncertified divers. We went for two dives with a stop at Saona Island and at Piscina Naturale.
Our instructor Natalie
She introduced us to the diving basics and the diving gear. Then we practiced breathing and some safety maeuvers in a shallow water befor going for the dives.
At the two perfectly chosen dive sites we felt safe the whole time and we could enjoy the Carribbean underwater life. Seen turtels, stingrays, moray eels, trumpet fish, parrot fish, corals and a whole lot more. It was absolutely awesome, like nothing we experienced so far.
The delicious lunch under the Coco palms of Saona Island and diving to see many starfish at Piscina Naturale were equally enjoyable experiences.
From our own experience we heartily recommend diving with Sharky's Crew at Bayahibe.

My boyfriend and I completed our Open Water Diving certification with Natalia and had a wonderful experience! It was my first time scuba diving and Natalia was understanding and made sure I was comfortable with each skill before we took to our actual dives. She was a great instructor who instilled confidence in us and made sure our experience was educational while also exciting! Our time on the open water dives was out of this world and made us feel like part of Sharky’s diving crew diving alongside the owner & former owner. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Natalia & Peter!!

My husband and I spent the day diving with Peter on May 11 and could not have been happier. He was so patient while I learned how to use my full mask again and everyone we interacted with from Sharkys was kind and helpful. We had two dives, one at a shipwreck and the other was full of beautiful fish and coral formations. After our dives we stopped at an island and had a wonderful lunch I would highly recommend this dive shop!

Bayahibe: Shorty or full 3mm in February? Seeing reports between 79 - 81 degrees farenheit that is near the threshold for my cold tolerance in a shorty. Appreciate any advice from seasoned divers. Anyone dive with Scuba Caribe? Thanks.

We are planning our dive trip and would like to look at some reefs before we send our itinerary. I know there's no guarantee in seeing anything on our dives but what reefs would advise to increase our chances of seeing a sea horse

Hi. My husband and I got our PADI open water certification last September but haven't done an ocean dive as yet. We were in Cuba in Feb. this year but didn't feel comfortable with the dive shop at our resort so we didn't dive. This year, we're planning on coming to the DR, the Coral Costa Caribe to be exact, and I was wondering if you had any yays or nays about their dive shop. We'd appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks.

This is a small shop run by two brothers. They are very skilled and professional. They only do small groups. I would be very comfortable doing my open water dives with them. If you are looking for a large dive shop with many employees and a storefront in a large city, this is not the place, but none of that matters.

Posiblemente viaje solo desde Argentina en noviembre. Me gustaría saber cuánto sale una excursión de buceo, si lo filman y hasta que profundidad son las inmersiones. Yo hice una sola práctica anterior en Isla Margarita y siendo hipertenso no tuve ningún problema, creo que la segunda inmersión estábamos cerca de los 10 mts. y nos vendieron en CD con la filmación. Muchas gracias.

Hola, viajó en mayo para bayahibe y quiero hacer una excursión de buceo, somos 2 adultos y sin experiencia en el tema, cuál es el precio de un día buceando y el seabob para realizarlo otro día. Gracias y saludos.

Hola Nicolas,
Disculpa la demora, no hemos recibido ninguna notificacion de TripAdvisor. Te comento que el precio por persona es de 169 usd, dos inmersiones con equipo incluido. Debido a que nos dedicamos al buceo privado, serian solo ustedes dos en el bote junto con el instructor. La actividad de Seabob cuesta 85 usd por persona pero si realizan ambas actividades podemos aplicar un descuento del 10%. Por el momento tenemos amplia disponibilidad para Mayo, si puedo ayudarte en algo mas puedes enviarnos un mail para mas informacion. Gracias y saludos!!

No limitamos los tiempos de inmersión, sólo el tiempo de fondo y el aire son los límites.
El precio de las inmersiones depende del número de días de que reserve. Mas días, mayor descuento por inmersión se aplica.
