We will now tell you 5 good reasons to take a diving license in the Dominican Republic and in particular in Bayahibe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">1 Prestige and quality. Surely among the main considerations to be considered is the prestige of a nation, the Dominican Republic, which was recognized only in 2022 twice as a leader among travel destinations around the world. In May, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) recognized the country as number one in the world in the recovery of tourism, after the impact of covid-19, recently in June also received the awards Leisure Travel Award and the Wherever Awards delivered by the specialized magazine Global Traveler, being recognized as the best destination within the Caribbean and the most familiar. Despite being a very popular destination the dive classes generally remain small and personalized, with exceptional customer care.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">2 The dives are extremely easy. The Dominican Republic, due to the ideal sea conditions for this activity especially in the Bayahibe area, are perfect for learning to go underwater and explore a healthy reef rich in biodiversity among the most important in the world. The sites are shallow, with low current and with an average visibility of 15 meters with peaks of even 30 meters. The water is hot and never drops below 26C<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">3 Sun all year round. No matter the month, no matter the day you manage to take your vacation, the Dominican Republic is a country open all year round where it is possible to dive at any time even during the periods considered statistically with the wettest average. The Dominican Republic also offers a solution for every type of traveler whether you want to spend your vacation days in a luxurious all-inclusive Resort or you are a backpacker traveler on a budget.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">4 The language. Don&#8217;t be afraid of not being able to understand the instructions. Most of the Dive Centers are equipped to offer courses in your mother tongue, since the tourism that characterizes the Dominican Republic is truly a multi-ethnic tourism with tourists from all over the world. You can now also start the online course before arriving and have more time to spend getting to know the island and do other excursions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">5 And finally the cost. Saving something these days, often if you are traveling with a large family, never hurts and what you pay in the Dominican Republic will be twice or even three times less than what you would pay in Europe or North America, especially considering the ease of logistics without detracting from the quality of the course. Have you ever seen an international PADI Open Water course in your country for less than $ 400 all inclusive?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you already thought about taking a PADI Open Water certification but are you undecided about the destination?
