Looking at going in November to the Domican Replublic to do some cave diving, does anyone know of a dive shop which I can organize this through in the Domican Replublic.

You can call Dennis Bourret at 809 886 7777 he owns Golden Arrow in Santo Domingo a full tech diving facility. He also does guiding to any part of the country and can organize the trip for you.
I actually really recommend using a guide here because the DR is not like Mexico, the caves are spread out all over the country and most are not easy to find.

If you need maps and info to caves here you can check out http://dr-ss.com/drss/
and also Dennis's site at http://www.cavediving.com.do/english/index.html

below are some videos to some of the caves here

If you are going to be in the Bayahibe area, you can also contact Uwe Rath at Gri Gri Divers - http://grigridivers.net/mainintro.php

I understood from another person that he is only doing courses and not doing cave divers as guide
