[skiwez]

Hey All,

Going Down to DR next week, and was told there is some cave diving there. Has anyone here seen any of the the cave there to give me an idea what to expect

A friend of mine works as an underwater cameraman for the History Channel, and they did some filming there. I think he told me that the caves were hard to get to. He's supposed to be back in the country in a few days and I'll try to find out more.

Dang! I just saw this- if you havent left already- there is a sweet ass club in the hills above Santo Domingo- Its called the pit or something like that- You drive up the hill, park on the road and walk down into what looks like a small cement amphitheater- but the door is at the bottom- when you walk in you seen huge multilevel platforms built into this massive cave room- stals hanging from the ceilings and everything- and 100 decibel merengue (sp?) with hot chicks all over. That is far and away the best dance club I have ever been to. The cave diving is to the west- there is a german couple running a dive shop out of a little resort down there in Barahona that run people to all the caves along the southern part of the haitian border- lots of good stuff according to Lamar as well- We got to fly low over the northeastern part- you can see huge gaping cave entrances in the jungle- but there are no roads for hundreds of kilometers- you would need a good pilot and a jungle penetrator to get to them.
