CATALINA ISLAND V.I.P.

CATALINA ISLAND V.I.P.

Catalina Island, was discovered by Cristobal Colon, who named her in honor of Saint Catalina, also known as Serena Key, it’s  the second biggest island off the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic. A precious island of white sandy beaches, without modern buildings or hotels because it’s under government protection. All the island is made of coral and surrounded by mangroves and reefs wich create natural pools protected from the ocean.

It’ s one of the best places to go scuba diving in the Dominican Republic, best known for “The Wall” wich descends more than 100m and the spectacular “Aquarium” where you will have the opportunity to observe the famous “Lion Fish” and “Sea Horses”, many other species and mountains of coral reefs. Without a doubt the best diving point in the south coast of the Dominican Republic, diving lovers can’t miss out on.

Catalina Island is a longish boat ride from the Bayahibe area, maybe 30 minutes but many people consider it one of the highlights of their week. There is a true wall on the north side of the island, dropping from 15 to 130 feet. The shallow reef flat is rich with pillar and boulder corals, while the drop-off is filter feeder heaven, with black coral, vase sponge and large elephant ears. On the south side is a shallow reef known as the Aquarium. Here, pillar corals rule, and schooling grunts hide in coral recesses.catalina2

The Island is just a 45-minute boat ride from La Romana or Bayahibe in the Dominican Republic. Cruise ships dock directly at the small island of Catalina.

The Catalina Island is so uninhabited and clean of any pollutants that all traveling is done on foot. The Catalina Island or Isla Catalina is an uninhabited tropical island located 1.5 miles from the mainland on the south-east corner of the Dominican Republic, near La Romana Province.

The island itself is only 9.6 square kilometers in size, and is a diverse preservation of eco-systems including sand dunes, mangroves, and reefs. Formed out of coral stone, the island contains three overlapping plateaus. The highest elevation on the island is only 60 feet above sea level. The seas around the Island are rich in wildlife, with many species of birds and tropical marine fish, and there are large areas where natural sandbars offshore bring the depth to just a few feet.
