What level of diver is this trip for?

All levels. Not sure if it's the right fit? Niki will talk it through with you.

Can I still do this trip?

This was a past SXT departure to Dominican Republic, Punta Cana. We run adventures like it regularly, so contact us about the next departure or a custom version designed for your own group.

Is this good for solo travelers?

Absolutely. SXT trips attract friendly, like-minded travelers, and many guests arrive solo and leave with a whole new crew of dive buddies.

Do you handle flights and logistics?

Yes. SXT concierge takes care of flights, transfers, documents, and the little details, so all you have to do is show up and soak it in.

Why you will love this trip

What makes this trip special, and why travelers choose to come back.

Bavaro shore, powder-white and calm

The Bavaro coast delivers some of the Caribbean's most inviting beach days, where turquoise water rolls in gentle and clear and palm shade is always close at hand.

Isla Catalina's bright shallow reef

A short boat ride out to Isla Catalina puts you above a vivid, shallow reef teeming with color, a natural break from the beach that adds a little adventure without demanding much effort.

Cave of Wonders, ancient underground world

The Cave of Wonders hides an underground gallery of stalactites and ancient Taino rock art inside the limestone of the Dominican interior, an otherworldly counterpoint to all that sun and sea.

Caribbean New Year on the sand

Seeing the old year out and the new one in with toes in the sand and warm Caribbean air overhead is the kind of celebration that needs no fireworks to feel extraordinary.
