Punta Cana ~ The NEW Caribbean!
Featured Resorts
On the eastern most coast of the Dominican Republic lies Punta Cana, a growing area complete with its own airport, surrounded by a beautiful countryside at the heart of some of the best stretches of beachfront in the world. With nearly 40 miles of unbroken beaches lining the coast, perfect shores are never far away.
As a vacation destination, Punta Cana is relatively new. The oldest hotel was built in 1985, with 90% of them built after 1995. Local regulations permit hotels to be built only as high as the tallest palm tree, helping to preserve the natural atmosphere and tropical ambiance of its pristine white sand coastlines.
In an effort to maintain the stunning beauty of its wildlife areas, Punta Cana has put a priority on its ecological efforts. Forming part of the Coconut Coast, many resorts feature walking paths through coconut mangroves complete with natural springs and mangrove forests.

Dominican Republic Cave Diving,
an Adventure of a Special Kind
Cave Diving is an adventure of a very special kind - mangroves and tropical rain forests are hiding underground fresh water caves.
Over millions of years the rain eroded caves and cave systems in the lime stoned underground, and today we still discover and open up new caves for our divers. Warm clear water and incredible cave landscapes with stalactites and stalagmites, cathedrals, and wide passages in deep water are waiting for you.
The specialty of our underwater caves is that they are very spacious and after a short time you are able to come up to the surface at different spots.
Peter Lorenz and Walter Frischbutter are cave divers with a high reputation and a lot of experience. Guided by them you will be able to discover beautiful caves and grottos and experience a cave diving adventure of a special kind.
