About this site
La Parguera is a dive site close to Saona Island in the Dominican Republic, reaching a depth of 17 metres. It is known for its population of big fish, and nurse sharks and turtles are easy to find here.
The dive is often paired with a dive at El Faro, so the two are frequently done together on the same outing.
