Beyond the usual dive day.


Experienced professionals, dedicated dive boats and the time to do things properly — from private training to some of the most spectacular diving in Samaná.

CABO CABRÓN NATIONAL PARK

Not all dives are created equal.

A full-day expedition to one of the most dramatic dive destinations on the Samaná Peninsula. Beneath Cabo Cabrón’s wild coastline, towering walls drop into deep blue water, covered in giant sponges and vibrant marine life.

Travel aboard our dedicated dive catamaran, enjoy two dives in the national park, and experience a side of the Dominican Republic that few divers ever get to see.

caring."

It was our second trip with TDA that year. A stellar experience, that helped make our honeymoon something very special
