General information and typical weather conditions.

The Dominican Republic covers 2/3 of the caribbean island “Hispanola” and borders on Haiti. From northwest to southeast 4 mountain ranges run through the island, the highest one is the “Cordillera Oriental” with over 3.000 metres. Along the east coast of Hispanola streches a beautiful beach of 26 kilometres with white sand as far as you can see and innumerable coconut trees.

The weather in Dominican Republic remains tropical year round, with slight variations dividing it into basically two seasons, summer and winter. The average annual temperature is around 25°C (77°F). The so-called “cool” season is from November to April, with what is considered pleasantly warm weather, relatively low humidity and low precipitation. On the coast, i.e. near the beaches, the temperature hovers fairly constantly around 29°C (84°F) during the day and drops to around a comfortable 20°C (68°F) at night. The more “hot” season is roughly from May to October. Then, the average temperature rises to 31°C (87°F) during the daytime and drops to about 22°C (72°F) at night. However, with the accompanying high humidity that is more common during this season, it usually feels much hotter. It does rain a bit more often during this season, especially from May to August, but usually this turns out to be no more than a 30 minute tropical (sometimes heavy) shower.

Diving is done year around. Visibility can be expected to be between 50 and 100 feet (15 – 30m) and the average water temperature is between 25-29°C (76-82°F). Recommended insulation is a thin lycra suit or a 3mm “shorty” wetsuit for snorkeling and diving. For rainy days and multiple diving a 3mm full wetsuit is necessary.
