A small, uninhabited limestone island a few kilometers off La Romana, ringed by white sand and two well-known dive sites, The Wall and The Aquarium. Day boats bring snorkelers to shallow coral gardens teeming with reef fish. The island's shelf drops steeply, so even beginner divers see dramatic terrain minutes from the beach.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
