We arrived at the Majestic hotel, and on the very next day went to this dive center for my wife and I to go diving. I’m a AOWD licensed PADI diver and we always go to licensed centers. When I asked for a good day to dive, the gentleman at the counter said that two days from then (next Saturday), the weather would be great. I accepted his suggestion, scheduling our experience for Saturday, early morning.
When the day arrived, and it was raining, the seam seemed very agitated. My wife was doing the Discovery program, meaning it was her first dive. She needed to take pool lessons first.
I am frustrated that they did not reschedule with us, since ALL THE FOLLOWING DAYS the skies were bright and waters were calm. They are locals, they know that the weather that day specifically was not the adequate condition for a beginner to go diving, and they also surely knew better days were coming.
Regardless, she went and did the pool lesson, and we went to the sea. They took us to a place called “shallow”, there was not too much life at all, just mostly rocks. I’ve dove in Punta Cana before, with the Pelicano Dive Center, they took us (including the beginners) to a wreck called Astron, and there was a lot of life.
On our way back, the engine on the boat died. We were waiting for about 40 min for another boat to come tow us. Then, we were already under considerable rain and wind, and I got myself a nice cold next day, since their boats are not covered.
For the prices they charge (they are more expensive than the Pelicano as per the websites), I expected a better boat and overall experience. I truly wished they had suggested us to reschedule for better weather. In the end, I kept asking for more "advanced" dives and have not received any suggestion, I even asked for a night dive, but they gave me no option. They lost the opportunity to sell me more dives! My wife was going to do the certification, but due to the overall experience, she ended up not wanting to do it. - via
