Off the coast of Punta Cana we can find the remains of a ship that has become a favorite site for tourists who dive in this area. This is the Astron, Russian-owned ship carrying corn to Cuba and was surprised by a strong storm. Built in France in 1957, he had 127 meters long and weighed about 28,000 tons. The boat hit the reef being split in two submerged stern and bow emerging on the waves, visible from some resorts of Playa Bavaro.
