New 2023 Question on SCUBA

[TrpngBilly]

With the limited excursions by cruise lines for certified divers, does anyone have any experience with any local dive shops in Puerto Plata?  Obviously proximity to the cruise port is a consideration, but can anyone share whether or not they've used a local shop and had success?  Thanks in advance.

Before the pandemic, we stayed at a PP resort (not cruise stop).  We went boat diving with prodive a couple of times.  They were ok.  The diving was so so, for Caribbean.  But it was warm water.

 

My wife stayed at the beach.  After the dives, we bought coconuts to drink.  They were about US$2/each, not bad.
