Description
Get ready to explore!
Catalina Islands offshore waters are a registered national marine park located a short sail from the town La Romana. Famous for its coral reefs, explorers are fascinated as they observe the incredible underwater fauna and the famous wreck of Catalina Kidds last ship, the Quedagh Merchant, visible in only 9-10 feet of water less than 100 yards from the shores of the island. The reefs in this area have evolved into an amazing underwater museum due to a beautiful but menacing coral wall. Enjoy this indescribable experience and enjoy watching all the different fish, the colors, reefs, and the whole marine life.
