SCUBA, Skindiving and Snorkeling With vibrant coral reefs ringing the peninsula, diving opportunities abound. Most of the peninsula’s dive centers are PADI certified and offer instruction and certification in addition to shallow and deep water dives. The predominance of dive centers are located along the beach in the more populous Las Terrenas area where they dive the many reefs along the north shore. Las Galeras has a well-equipped dive center that offers dives to a sunken ship in Las Galeras Bay, cave exploration along the sheer walls of Cabo Cabron and the “pinnacle,” a coral encrusted rock that reaches to within ten feet of the ocean’s surface from the depths at the tip of the cape. The reefs off Playa Fronton at the base of Cabo Samana's massive cliff face are also quite scenic although the current that washes the cape's tip can be a bit of a problem for divers at times.         Page 1 www.SamanaOnline.com All rights reserved Copyright 2003-2006
