We will be a the Ocean Bavaro next week and are wondering how the snorkelling is there? Is there a reef? If so, how far off the shore is the reef? How is the water clarity? Is there much of a current? Any other comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Along the main Bavaro beach, it's nothing exciting. However, there is a nice reef off shore towards the south of the town.

You've got planned excursions also that are well worth it. Check it out when you get to your hotel.

Facing the ocean, walk to the right. The first hotel you come to (small beachfront) is Aliso, I believe. Ask for Christophe. He gives private snorkeling excursions. Very reasonable and fun! (his boat is called Dignora.)

Thanks!! What a great community here. We are leaving on Tuesday and really looking forward to getting our bodies back into the ocean. Your tips are much appreciated.
