Nice wreck or caves diving near Puerto plata?

Is there any decent snorkeling to be found around the Gran Oasis Marien/Playa Dorada area or should I hire some local knowledge for a few hours? If not can anyone suggest who to ask and what kind of price should you expect to pay?
The better snorkeling will be in Sosua. You can take the Freestyle catamaran day trip, take the local bus (gua gua) to Sosua Bay or hire a taxi at your hotel to take you. If you have equipment bring it with you or just rent some on the beach!
It is the best near this area but certainly not excellent snorkeling.
Diving - Luperon is your best bet. there is nothing closer to Puerto Plata to my knowledge.

Also Silver Banks wrecks (ask Burt Webber the man who found the Concepcion) but you wouldn't be diving unaided!

''...Sea Explorer Burt Webber is the director of operations on the "Ocean Lady," a 128-foot exploration boat docked along the Miami River. Webber and his crew, will use it to hopefully find a valuable pirate ship.
"Realistically, what could be on board the vessel could be a $150 million dollars," said Webber.
Webber believes the ship called "The English Cossair" recovered a treasure on board "The Concepsion" in the 1600s, off the coast of the Dominican Republic at the south reef. It sank and they believe the treasure is still on board, deep in the water...'' Video report : cbs4.com - High Tech Explorers Will Search The Sea For Loot

The only wreck around the Sosua area that's divable is the Zinguara, a 100 foot bananna cargo ship that was sunk on purpose about 15 years ago for the divers. There are other wrecks around, but they are too deep for diving. There are Spanish Gallions around Monti Christi, but they are very deteriorated and in a marine preserve and not divable. There may be some wrecks around Monti Christi and Punta Rusia, but you'll have to check with the locals there as I don't have any information on them.
As far as caves go, there are thousands of caves on this island, most haven't been explored, and most require cave certification and cave diving equipment. There is a cavern dive at Lake Du Du which is east of Cabrera which is a very nice dive.

Couldn't see any line in that cave and couldn't see they laid one. Saw a thumb reel on one of the guys that was all.
