About this experience
Enjoy a day of stunning reefs and beaches in Catalina Island. You will explore two top dive sites - The Wall and the Aquarium, both excellent for all levels of diving. The Wall is an impressive drop-off that stretches to the Caribbean Sea. Inhabited by coral and vibrant fish, it is a must for divers and snorkelers alike. The second dive spot Aquarium is an enjoyable dive where you may see some Dominican lobster, yellow stingrays and moray eels. After diving and snorkeling, you will relax with a cocktail in the hand on a magnificent beach of the island while the guides prepare a delicious Dominican lunch. You will have free time to swim in the turquoise water, enjoy some more snorkeling, the open bar and the sun.
