This tour includes two wreck dives in the Caribbean Sea and lunch at a restaurant in the local fishing village. St.George lies at a variety of depths ranging from 16 to 45 meters. There is good visibility, a lack of strong currents and a high amount of marine life, making it one of the best dive sites in the Caribbean.The excellent sea conditions allow folks to dive about 350 days per year and St. George is probably one of the most desirable dive sites in Bayahibe area.
The ship you'll see was built 1962 in Scotland to transport wheat and barley between Norway and America, used for 20 years and then abandoned in Santo Domingo port. It was renamed St George after the hurricane Georges that hit the Dominican Republic in September, 1998. In June 1999 the ship was sunk about 800 meters a half mile off the Viva Dominicus Beach - a great artificial reef, home to many different fish, even barracudas.
The Atlantic Princess also used to cruise with tourists in the Bayahibe area many years ago. It retired and in Spring 2008, it was intentionally sunk and turned into an artificial reef for scuba divers.
The dives are always exciting, you never know what you can see while diving there. Evidence of dive certification is required from all divers wishing to participate in a certified dive
