Overview
Explore one of the most exclusive cave diving sites in the Dominican Republic with the Cave Diving at Oleg’s Bat Cave (Bat House) excursion, a full-day adventure designed exclusively for certified sidemount cave divers. Located near Bávaro, this extraordinary cave offers a rare opportunity to dive into a pristine subterranean world guided by its original discoverer.
Discovered in 2009 by Oleg Shevchuk, Oleg’s Bat Cave—also known as Bat House Cave—is named after the large population of bats inhabiting the cave and the remarkable fossil bat remains found within. Access to this cave is highly restricted, and only small groups of 1 to 3 divers are allowed, ensuring a private, safe, and technically focused diving experience.
This advanced cave diving excursion takes you through crystal-clear underwater passages, dramatic geological formations, and ancient environments untouched by time. Divers will navigate impressive striated rock walls, potholed ceilings, and submerged tunnels while observing millions of cave-adapted shrimp, worms, and other unique fauna.
Beyond its natural beauty, Oleg’s Bat Cave offers a journey into prehistoric life, with opportunities to observe fossilized remains of the Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) and other extinct species. This is not just a dive—it is an exploration of geology, biology, and history beneath the surface.
