Pro Dive International partners with Aggressor Fleet for Silver Bank
Humpback Whale Safari in the Dominican Republic with the ultimate in Liveaboards
Pro Dive International, one of the Caribbean’s most established PADI 5 Star Dive Resorts and recognized Career Development Centers have announced their partnership with Aggressor Fleet – The Ultimate in Liveaboards, as one of the new top highlights of the recent inauguration of Pro Dive´s first dive center in the Dominican Republic.
Founded in 1984, the Aggressor Fleet set its goal of becoming the largest and most successful fleet of Liveaboard dive yachts in the world. Today, it takes guests to more than 30 breathtaking dive destinations in the world, like the beautiful Turks and Caicos Aggressor II, that offers an exciting itinerary to the Dominican Republic to snorkel with Humpback Whales at the Silver Bank in the north of the country, between January and April. The Turks & Caicos Aggressor II is one of only a few yachts that are permitted access to the Silver Bank during the mating and breeding season of the humpbacks.
The Silver Bank, also known as the “Sanctuary for the Marine Mammals of the Dominican Republic”, provides a safe and protected wintering shelter for the entire North Atlantic Humpback Whale population, where they gather in thousands to court, mate, calve, and rear their young until they are strong enough to return to the North Eastern U.S. coast.
“Aggressor Fleet stands for innovation, personalized service, professional staff, and safety, promising a perfect match for our collaboration,” says Markus Fleischmann, CEO & Founder of Pro Dive International – Mexico & Dominican Republic. “We are thrilled to now be able to boost our big fish safaris with this once-in-a-life-time experience, and offer the humpbacks combined with a dive & relax extension package at our new dive center location at the Occidental Grand Punta Cana, to round up this exciting snorkeling adventure by discovering the diving highlights of the Dominican Republic, including Bayahibe, Saona & Catalina islands, and relax at one of the finest white sandy beaches.”
Pro Dive International – Mexico is already taking reservations for the upcoming humpback whale seasons. All whale charters depart from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Space is limited and based on availability:
- January 21 – April 1, 2017 – space available for Jan 21-28, only!
- January 20 – March 31, 2018 – available
- January 19 – March 30, 2019 – available

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
