Pedernales Expedition 2008 For Rebreather Divers

If the Dominican Republic has a well kept secret, Pedernales in the southwest corner of the country is definitely it. This small fishing village serves as a portal to several different cave areas. Two of the country's major national parks , Parque Nacional Jaragua and Parque National de Bahoruco are the destination for both our Pirates Cove Open Circuit and CCR Cave Expeditions.

Here we will explore 5 extremely diversified cave systems. Uwe Rath, who led the first expedition to this area in 1999, will lead both Expeditions.

We will explore:

  • El Asfalto
  • Trou Nicolas
  • Pozo la Picina
  • Pozo la Hicotea
  • Palo de Luz
