Airport Puerto Plata

Airport Puerto Plata is an advanced dive site on the Dominican Republic's north coast, named for its proximity to the international airport. The site features a deep wall that plunges dramatically, offering encounters with pelagic species including barracuda, jacks, and occasional reef sharks. Strong Atlantic currents sweep the wall, bringing nutrients that support lush gorgonian fans and massive barrel sponges. The exposed location demands experience, but rewards divers with some of Puerto Plata's most dramatic underwater scenery.
