Scuba Doo Diving Experience in Punta Cana

1.Scuba Doo Diving Experience in Punta Cana

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 422 reviews · from $61Our pick

Travel from your hotel to Cabeza de Toro, then ride a Scuba Doo underwater scooter at El Niño reef, breathing normally beneath a clear dome at 3 to 5 meters. You’ll also snorkel with a guide, cruise on the Panoramic One glass-bottom boat, and receive equipment, drinks, snacks, and transport.

“The pick up was almost 1/2 hour late. They don't have access to the lobby, so we had to stand outside of the barrier to our resort. The 1st part of this trip was amazing, but only 15 minutes. The last 2/3 were worthless. The captain is what made it horrible. He didn't say a word to us. When we asked him to turn down the music, he seemed indignant. We literally had no idea what we were supposed to be seeing. We only saw water from the glass bottom boat. I think because he was going so fast, we couldn't see anything. Would've been nice if he stopped along…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 162 reviews · from $105Top rated

Spend about four hours off Punta Cana on a catamaran with hotel transport, open-bar drinks, snorkeling, and guided underwater hookah time near Bávaro’s coral reef. The cruise suits families and social groups, though the marina wait and crowded water stops can test your patience.

“Quality and Professional. Spend the time to prepare for the dives and also the safety for the attendees. Maybe some personal Facilities bathrooms would improve the adventure. Best dive ever for me.. better than Nassau.. Fun and pleasurable too!”

5.Scuba Doo Underwater Scooter in Punta Cana (Half Day)

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 84 reviews · from $75

Ride a Scuba Doo underwater scooter about 10 to 15 feet below Punta Cana’s surface while breathing inside a clear helmet. A guide stays beside you, and you can snorkel between turns.

“The most memorable part of the whole trip was going underwater and still being able to breathe. I’m not a swimmer so I was pretty scared, but the staff who was under the water with me letting me know it was OK with God and there help I was OK and I would definitely do it again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 73 reviews · 1 day · from $60

From Punta Cana, you’ll visit Cabeza de Toro for a 15 to 20-minute ScubaDoo session at 3 to 5 meters, guided snorkeling at El Niño, and a 30-minute ride on the Panoramic One glass-bottom boat. English and Spanish support is available.

“The day started poorly as the night before we were texted that we had to get our own ride 5 miles into town ($30 taxi) to get our ride to the activity. They did reimburse that cost though. Once onsite we were told the glass bottom boat wasn't running so we did get to the Scooby Do's eventually and they were great as well as the snorkeling. Might try it again, but wife really wanted the glass bottom boat.”

“TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! Our pick up happened late because the bus broke, we travel around an hour until the marina in an old van and, when we arrived, the Catamaran was not ready so we wait for an hour to enter in the boat. When we enter, the boat was crowded an some people have to sit on the floor the whole trip. We choose the DIVE option because in the description was not clear that it's a CERTIFICATE DIVE (I ready a lot of times and the only thing that it's wrote its "Evidence of dive certification is required from all divers wishing to participate in a certified dive" but…”
