Spend a full day diving Catalina Island’s best sites — two guided tanks at The Wall and The Aquarium, followed by a beachfront Caribbean buffet. This tour combines established reef diving, onboard safety briefings, and easy access from La Romana.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips free of the Romana pier and the Caribbean widens; warm water laps the hull as palms on shore shrink to a low line. By the time the anchor drops off Catalina Island you can feel the sea pull like an invitation — balmy, clear, and eager to show its gardens.

Wildlife
History
Catalina Island has long been a local fishing and navigational landmark; its reefs formed from coral growth and carbonate sediments shaped by Caribbean currents.
Conservation
Stick to reef-safe sunscreen, don’t touch coral or marine life, and follow briefings — local operators work with guides to minimize anchor and diver impact on fragile reefs.

Bring your certification card
Operators require a scuba certification (Open Water or equivalent) and photo ID — carry them onboard and in a waterproof sleeve.
Manage seasickness proactively
Take a preventive medication or use acupressure bands before departure if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Protect skin between dives
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a lightweight long-sleeve rashguard to limit sun exposure during surface intervals.
Hydrate and pace your alcohol intake
Drink water throughout the day and avoid heavy alcohol until after your final surface interval; dehydration increases decompression risk.
Diver certification card and logbook
Proof of certification is required; your logbook documents recent dives if asked.
Mask, snorkel, fins (personal set)
Using your own fit-tested mask and fins increases comfort and reduces mask-clearing issues.
Reef-safe sunscreen and rashguard
Protects skin during surface intervals while minimizing harm to coral ecosystems.
