Great diving and awesome dive team - Great experience here getting my two teenagers (13&15) certified. Diving was fantastic and everyone at the dive shop was great. Paula was our instructor and she was so patient and thorough that it made the experience such a great one for my kids first start to a life of diving. The diving was also much better than I had expected. Did some great wreck dives and also saw amazing sea life. Saw turtles, plenty of rays, puffers, moral eels etc. Also saw a large eagle ray that was amazing and the highlight was seeing not one but two seahorses on two different dives. I’ve been diving for 20+ years and these are only the second and third sea horse I’ve ever seen and believe me I’ve been looking! The shop also right on the beach so you walk 10 feet to get on the dive boats. The gear is in good shape and they have a variety of full and shorty wetsuits to borrow if needed. They also provided the transportation to and from our hotel about 10 mins away. Don’t look any further than Coral point for your diving needs in the area!

OPTIMAL - I did 2 dives plus the open water certification from very kind and professional coral points. If you have a certification, sorry otherwise, I recommend the Atlantic Princess dive, a wreck not far from the coast at a relatively shallow depth, which is very impressive. Otherwise I recommend diving at the Tortuga reef to admire Florentine marine life. Highly recommended!

Bayahibe scuba diving - Very good diving club. Very well accompanied by the instructors. They will pick you up from the hotel. Priced competitively compared to hotel clubs. This is my second visit to their club. Very good equipment possible to pass your levels. I recommend Christopher

Great SCUBA course - Devyn and Elvin were the most knowledgeable and professional instructors I have had for any excursion in my many travels. They are definitely worth working with.

Friendly, Troubleshooters, and Helpful! - This was INCREDIBLE! I had initially had tons of problems with diving, including equalization problems and tooth squeeze. However, my instructor, Ed, was very cool about it and helped me get my certification. I'm sure that at any other dive shop I would've been unable to get my open water certification. I would like to thank this dive shop and specifically Ed for that. The boat wasn't the nicest ride but the tanks stayed in place and the instructors are REALLY nice! All of them are very professional and show you what they see! I saw Goliath Grouper and a Green Moray Eel and only because the instructor pointed that out! (Maybe it's hard to miss a grouper my size though!) It was truly great. The wreck we went to was called the "Atlantic Princess" and it was spectacular! It had everything from big fish to the massive boat and a nearby reef! The dive shop is next to many incredible reefs and wrecks! ITs a very safe experience with kind staff, and more! Although, Like anywhere in the Dominican I wouldn't recommend leaving items like phones or wallets on the boat! Everything you need for diving, however, is safe and sound! I full-heartedly recommend this shop and again I would like to thank the instructor Ed!

Scuba diving certification - Highly, HIGHLY recommend this dive shop, especially for people looking to get their initial open water certification. My husband and I had been talking about getting scuba certified for years, and finally decided to head to the Dominican to get our open water. We found this dive shop here on TripAdvisor, and all of the reviews are spot on - this dive shop is awesome. It is filled with multilingual staff with exceptional diving experience, all of whom were so helpful and patient with us as we worked through our skills. The equipment is top notch. Our divemaster, Ed, was amazing. He taught us so much, and made us feel comfortable and encouraged doing our first open water dives. The entire experience was incredible. We are forever grateful to Ed, Luca, Paolo, and the rest of the Coral Point staff for opening up this new world for us! Our new favorite hobby!

Great dive shop! - As a diver with a little bit of experience (70 dives), I watched my boyfriend undertake his Open Water at Coral Point these last few days. I joined for 4 fun dives as well (refreshing some of my open water skills in the process). His instructor Ed, was really great. My boyfriend speaks little English, and so with the help of a french-speaking and fantastic dive master Clara, I had no concerns with his formation. The quality of teaching, the general encouragement, and the jovial enviroment was fantastic. Kudos to both Ed and Clara for their efforts! Coral Point is definitely a dive shop I'd come back to - it not a factory, the quality of teaching is great, and you are spoilt with the variety of dive sites (reefs, wrecks, great diversity of fishes!), agreeable water temperatures (even in Winter!), and a welcoming, multilingual environment!

Beautiful Caribbean dives and a very friendly atmosphere. - A diving center with very friendly young divemasters. Beautiful Caribbean dives! Our three dives on magnificent seabeds and one wreck dive leave us with good memories. The center is located on the beach with a beautiful view.
