We've just returned from Bayahibe where my two grandsons got their open water certification and the rest of the family did fun diving (and then went diving with the newly certified boys). We used Coral Point Diving and thought their instruction and entire diving operation was extraordinary. All of the staff was friendly, attentive, and fully professional. The Cressi equipment was all in good order, and the boats were set up properly for diving. We went in small groups (often just our family and 1 other diver) and the divemasters guided the dives and found lots of "stuff". A special call out to Ed and Paulina who made the boys (14 and 16) open water course a wonderful experience that left the boys entirely comfortable in the water, even on a night dive. And a special thanks to Ed who gave us some wonderful pictures and videos of the experience. We left feeling we had made new friends and the boys started on a lifetime of diving. Not to leave out the fact that the dive sites were terrific.

I've been diving since 2012, and Coral Point Diving gave one of the best and detailed orientations I've had. They had beautiful hand-drawn maps of each dive site and labeled pictures of wildlife that we would potentially see. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and loved what they do. When I couldn't remember what I saw after the dives but described it to Natalia back at the shop, she could identify exactly what I was talking about. You can tell that they take safety seriously. In our group, two of us were doing fun dives and 2 others were doing their advanced certification. They had 5 staff members on the dives just for the 4 of us!

As a family we had a wonderful time snorkeling around Bayahibe with our guide Rafa. The many types of colorful fish were amazing. Rafa was quick to point out the many different fish species as we snorkeled the reefs. His passion for ocean life is very contagious!
I highly recommend Coral Point even if you only have a few hours to go for a quick snorkel.

Had a great time diving with the Coral Point team. Thanks to Ed Settle for helping me achieve my advanced open water certification. I started communicating with them about a month before our trip. They were very responsive and helpful. We stayed in Punta Cana, which is about an hour from Bayahibe. CP arranged the travel and though it wasn’t cheap, the driver was right on time and there was no hassle. Ed is a great instructor, and I also worked with Ana, who was working as an instructor intern. Diving was from a small boat and there were about 8 divers plus three dive masters. The staff is very helpful and multilingual. I highly recommend the CP team!

Coral Point Diving is the best if you are looking for a genuine dive experience - multilingual and super friendly instructos and divemasters will lead yoi and a small group to amazing dive points throughout Bayahibe. Equipment is well maintained and evertone is so friendly and welcoming. Whether or not you are experienced, I would recommend you to visit PCD for your dive experience in Bayahibe.

The coral point team is friendly, welcoming, highly professional and very safe. I’m an advanced diver and they got me set up and booked right away for a couple of dives when I went by their shop.
They also took my cousin on a discovery course - they spent one on one time training and made her first dive experience excellent

Thank you for some great dives!

Five tanks over 2 days of diving with Dive Master Martin. This is a small operation and they are capable of customizing your experience. They are professionals. they fill their own tanks, and follow all the PADI guidelines for safety and education.

I cheated on them for our 3rd day of diving and used a competitor Scuba Caribe. That was a mistake as they paired us with an uncertified diver and took him to 70ft, and waisted half our day sitting on a beach.

The boats are pretty small and the waters can be a little rough so make sure to let them know if you have recently had back surgery!

We did the discover scuba diving session and it was fantastic! Three of us, all first time diving and the team at coral point took great care of us. They were very professional and friendly and took the time to teach us the skills needed in the shallows, patiently working with us one at a time to make sure we were happy to move onto the next task. When we were ready they took us out by a short boat trip to a shipwreck at 12m deep. What an amazing first open water dive! To see the wreck and all the fantastic marine life was an unforgettable experience. Big thanks to Carlos and Kayleigh for instructing us and just generally being cool. And to the other divers who assisted us one-to-one on our dive to the wreck. We hope this is the start of our scuba journey and if we find ourselves back in the DR coral point will be our first stop. Thanks from Ash, Graham and Mandy.

Hello fellow divers! My son and I just finished our 4 dives with Coral Point diving. This being our 1st trip (diving) to the DR. We can not express how extremely happy we are that we found Coral Point!! Luca and his staff were more than perfect! We felt right at home. So thankful for the smaller group of divers (6 divers, 2 instructors)!! Other dive shops had 30-40 divers (to many)!! Super experience!! I would tell anyone going to DR to definitely book at Coral Point!! Thank you Coral Point for the great memories!!
Paul and Jack.

It's one of the best dive shops I've ever had the pleasure to dive with. First, the communication that Natalia provided to help set up our dives was fantastic! Very prompt and informative. She even set up the taxi rides from our resort Casa de Campo to their shop. When I got there the first day, she got me all set with gear, and then was my guide for the day. My wife and I also dove with Ed on an afternoon and night dive. My final day, Ari and Paulia, led our dives. Everyone was Awesome! They all pointed out great critters on the dives. The shop is right on the beach, with a great restaurant right on site. Almost all the dive sites were only minutes away on the boat. We had a great Capt as well. You can't go wrong with Coral Point Diving! 5 stars are not enough for them! Experienced, Knowable, Fun, Happy, and Caring!
