Dive Center MerlinResort

Dive Center Merlin has been run by Jurgen Rumpenhorst since 1994, from a beachfront spot in Sosua on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. This PADI 5 Star Dive Resort has more than 20 dive sites five to fifteen minutes away, in clear, warm water.

It is about 15 minutes from Puerto Plata airport and near the Amber Cove cruise port, and the team can arrange hotel transfers. Conservation programs and Emergency First Response are part of the mix, with English, Spanish, French and German spoken.
