Scuba diving is Sosua Bay is pretty good. You can also do snorkeling, if you aren't ready for the deep stuff, or learn scuba-diving if that entices you.
I dove with Scuba Elite, www.scubaelitedr.com, on my October visit. A smaller shop, on Calle Duarte just a couple of doors down from the triangle (between Bailey's and the Happy Hour bar). The owner and divemaster is British; she is an excellent diver and fun to hang out with between and after dives.
Water conditions are not really clear - maybe 30 to 50 feet - but it is warm. The coral reefs have some problems, but they're still pretty healthy; I saw a few bleached spots and some of the soft-coral "bushes" were bare, however they're well in the minority. Not a lot in the way of big fauna, except for plenty of yellowtail, but we aren't coming here for the diving; if we were, we'd be going to Saba or Bonaire.
(Diving is a good 'nominal excuse' to tell anyone who might disapprove of your REAL reason for visiting Sosua.)
this opened my eyes a bit on the happenings in Cabarete and some other areas mentioned in the thread
Just another monger!!
