Sharks are possible anywhere on Hispaniola. In fact, of the 3 confirmed shark attacks in Dominican waters, one was in Boca Chica in 2010. This was most likely a post-mortem attack and the victim was not alive when he entered the water. It was confirmed that he was attacked by sharks and they are present.
When I was last there, you could buy dried out, taxidermied nurse sharks along one of the roads. Sharks are present in BC, as they are present in Sosua, and throughout the Caribbean.
Of the other two DR cases, one was in SD in the 60s and the other was on the north coast, I believe. The Punta Cana attack in 2016 is not verified and experts did not agree that is was a shark or some other type of fish as the culprit.

Jello fish larvae. Or "micro jello fish". They are invisible. This reaction is typical for a new person during the first 2-3 weeks. After that you do not feel it any longer.
Do not take fresh water shower after swimming. Wipe your affected skin with a diluted vinegar.
Swimming in Sosua is more pleasant. But on the other hand in Sosua one cannot swim at least 50-70 days a year due to waves. In BC - 365 day - guaranteed.
And in Sosua and in the North sharks are possible. In BC there is no sharks. And in Sosua - "man-of-war". Portuguese.
Only in ONE episode about 150 Dominicans were eaten alive by sharks not far from the shore.

150 Dominicans were eaten alive by sharks not far from the shore, FALSE
LOCATION: The incident took place in Mona Passage between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
about 100 people perished as result of explosion, fire, shark bites or drowning.
Never seen (or heard or read) about Portugise man of war in Sosua or NC either. I say FALSE
Encounters are infrequent, although sightings have been reported in different parts of the country.
More or less once in a week you can’t swim at Playa Sosua due to waves? Really? Again FALSE
Not sure why I bother commenting.......

It happened in just 5 km from the Dominican coast. Was all over the news media.
Is it your first name?
Nice to meet you, Sir!

Nope. Where do you get your information
about this country? Have you been to the
Dominican Republic?
" My information" ? From living in this country for about 20 years, ma fren. From reading newspapers about this country. From seeing sharks on the NC. From being bitten by man-o-war in Sosua MANY TIMES. From my own life here, amigo.

Initial treatment usually consists of removing toxins from the area effected as well as intravenous antihistamine, antiinflammantory and pain medication. Recovery is usually three to six weeks with proper treatment. Elizabeth recovered eight months later.
You might be not completely recovered, perhaps:lick:

right,
I saw that the enitire beachfront and hill behind the beach has been built out with condos, hotels, etc. It was shocking to see this, since the area had only a bare hillside of dirt lots and the odd condo built on it before, and what was there was lonely and Calle Duarte dead. So, there has been a lot built, but I have no idea about the occupancy or visitor rates.....somebody must be going there other than flight crews I would think, and something must be happening at night?????? Anybody been there very recently?.
