Puerto Rico Diving & Snorkeling
The diving is excellent off Puerto Rico's south, east, and west coasts, as well as its offshore islands. Particularly striking are dramatic walls created by a continental shelf off the south coast between La Parguera and Guánica and Desecheo island, where visibility goes to at least 1,000 feet.
Diving near Desecheo's clear waters, you may even hear whales singing. It's best to choose specific locations with the help of a guide or outfitter. Escorted half-day dives range from $45 to $95 for one or two tanks, including all equipment; in general, double those prices for night dives. Packages that include lunch and other extras start at $100; those that include accommodations are also available.
Snorkeling excursions, which include transportation, equipment rental, and sometimes lunch, start at $50. Equipment rents at beaches for about $5 to $7. (Caution: coral-reef waters and mangrove areas can be dangerous. Unless you're an expert or have an experienced guide, stay near the water-sports centers of hotels and avoid unsupervised areas.)
