    Punta Cana is a beautiful area. It has beautiful fish and colorful coral formations. Types of fish depend upon the areas. Closer areas will have less fish whereas the farther areas will have more fish.
    You can expect great variety in marine life. It includes flatfish, eels, schools of colorful fish and octopuses. It is not easy to tell exact species of fish; however, common species include the balloon fish, the trumpet fish, and spotted eagle ray. Many other species are also found there.
