» AquaNautas in Bayahibe:
The team of AquaNautas is very experienced in all active (under)water activities. The system is developed and manufactured in Canada. On the Colombian island San Andres the AquaNautas system is already operational for 9 years. During this period a 100% safety record is maintained.
We think that 50% of the attraction of the Caribbean can be found underwater. AquaNautas wants to open up the underwater world for everybody, even for non-swimmers, in a very safe manner.

The AquaNautas Team
Manager: Emile van der Heijden
My name is Emile van der Heijden. I'm 46 years old, married. I've a Dutch passport and I have my Dominican residency (since 1992). And I have a degree in sports and physics plus a vast experience in the entertainment business. I speak 6 languages almost fluently. I know the area of Dominicus / Bayahibe very well and I have excellent connections with both the Dominicans as the foreign residents. I offered my services to major international hotel groups such as Inter-Continental and Melia Hotels (Mallorca). I gained my main experience as sports club manager in Santo Domingo and head of entertainment in Spain for over 1 decade.
Currently I'm in charge of AquaNautas in Bayahibe. If you've any questions about helmet diving please don't hesitate to ask me.
Head Instructor: Ariel
Currently I'm the head instructor of AquaNautas in Bayahibe. I will be the one who goes with you in the water and I will guide the underwater walk. I also make the video and photo shots underwater. The reef at Bayahibe is my second home and I do my best to show you some remarkable sealife.
Surface Instructor: Ramon
I'm the surface instructor of AquaNautas. I'm the captain of the Semi-Sub that brings you to the platform. I stay at the surface and I will watch the walk from above. I help with the helmets and I check the air pressure; if necessary I will switch the system to the back up tanks. However this has never happened. I've got an easy job....
