About this dive site

This dive site features El Ferry, a 30-meter long wreck resting at a maximum depth of 11 meters, making it an excellent spot for less experienced divers and for extended bottom times. Easy access is provided by two descent lines located at each end of the wreck. Divers have the unique opportunity to swim underneath the wreck, navigating from the propeller section to the bow, or to leisurely explore its numerous small cavities and open areas.

The El Ferry wreck teems with marine life, hosting large schools of sergeant major and surgeonfish. Divers can also discover a variety of fascinating creatures such as scorpionfish, lobsters, octopuses, and trumpetfish, often found hidden within the wreck's structure or in the surrounding environment.

While no specific 'best time' is mentioned, the Dominican Republic's tropical climate generally offers good diving conditions year-round. This shallow and calm wreck is particularly well-suited for freedivers looking to explore a structure on a single breath, and for divers of all levels seeking an easy, relaxing dive with ample marine photographic opportunities, particularly for macro subjects.
