About

Located between the waters of Playa Blanca and Playa Serena in Punta Cana, the Igneri Caribe Taino Underwater Museum makes for a unique snorkeling and cultural site, with depths ideal for beginners. Created by award-winning Dominican artist Thimo Pimentel, 22 sculptures depicting indigenous Taino figures lie underwater, submerged at three to seven meters (10-23 feet). Corals were planted around these sculptures to provide a habitat for fish, which snorkelers can see circling and swimming past these large Taino figures.
