About this site
El Faro is a reef dive off La Altagracia province on the Dominican Republic's Caribbean coast, with a maximum depth of around 30 metres and rated suitable for beginners. The bottom here is reef, and divers have reported lionfish, lobster, moray eels, and scorpionfish tucked into the structure, along with occasional manta ray sightings. Like many sites named El Faro along Spanish-speaking coastlines, the name likely points to a lighthouse landmark once used to mark the area from the water.
