An underwater cave 1,000 meters in length and 25 deep has been discovered in the Choco National Park in Puerto Plata, the Ministry of Environment reported on Monday 11 November. According to the Ministry, this is the largest known cave in the island of Hispaniola. Minister of Environment Bautista Rojas Gomez said the discovery was a new opportunity for Puerto Plata to develop a new eco-tourism attraction. He said that divers from the Dominican Republic Speleological Society (DRSS) made the discovery and are describing the underwater cave as “a great attraction for specialized divers from all around the world.”
