About this dive site

This dive site, Jackson Sunken Island, is a pristine reef located across from the remote Jackson beach in the Dominican Republic. Legend suggests this vibrant dive site was once an island that submerged, forming the current reef structure. Underwater, divers can navigate across a healthy coral reef system, transitioning to a sandy bottom at its periphery. The clear water offers excellent visibility for exploration.

This healthy reef teems with marine life, including a variety of reef fish and moray eels. Beyond the reef, the sandy bottom increases the likelihood of encountering various ray species. The vibrant coral formations contribute to the overall biodiversity and health of the ecosystem.

The site is suitable for diving year-round due to its clear and calm conditions, making it an ideal location for beginners. Its shallow average depth of 5 meters also makes it perfect for snorkeling and freediving. Divers and freedivers can enjoy the abundance of life and pristine conditions, especially when seeking a serene and healthy reef experience.
