Parque Nacional Submarino La Caleta, Marine national park in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The underwater national park extends across 12 square kilometers of Caribbean waters, featuring coral reefs at depths between 10 and 50 meters.
Archaeological excavations in 1972 revealed 373 pre-Columbian indigenous skeletons underneath the area, dating from AD 650 to 840 with three cultural components.
The Ethnological and Archaeological Museum within the park displays numerous artifacts created by the Taino people who inhabited this region before colonization.
The park provides guided diving experiences and equipment rentals, with specific regulations to protect marine life and coral reef preservation.
The ship Hickory, deliberately submerged in 1984, now forms an artificial reef that attracts diverse marine species and serves as a diving destination.
