Slow Dive - Casa Chihuahua

Dive slow and sustainably in Bayahibe with a small family-run team that prioritizes marine conservation and authentic Dominican experiences over mass tourism.

Slow Dive - Casa Chihuahua is a small, eco-friendly dive center and Bed & Breakfast run by Belgian couple Julie and David in the village of Bayahibe. The operation focuses on sustainable diving practices, marine conservation programs with Fundemar (including coral gardening and lionfish hunting), and authentic land/sea excursions to wilder parts of Cotubanama National Park and Saona Island. The center operates a small boat named Wanda that accommodates up to 4 divers or 6 snorkelers, ensuring intimate group sizes for both fun dives and training. They offer PADI courses from Bubblemaker to Divemaster, as well as AIDA freediving certifications. The team includes local staff like captain Adrian and guide Maribel who prepares Dominican lunches with local products.
