Mishelle Posted August 9, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi, My daughter is becoming Scuba certified. We will be in San Juan for Nov 18 & 19th before our cruise on the 20th. I would like to know if someone could recommend a place for her to Scuba in San Juan. Thanks for your help. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce-r Posted August 10, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2005 From what I understand, it is at least a 2 hour drive from San Juan to where there is decent diving. If you aren't very particular, there is diving in San Juan, but it doesn't compare to the good diving in Puerto Rico. There is a dive shop at one of the hotels that does local diving in San Juan. I just wish I could remember the name of the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal2632 Posted August 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I think the operation Bruce-R is referring to is Caribe Aquatic Adventures. They offer shore dives off the beach at the Normandie hotel. http://www.caribeaquaticadventure.com/ It's only supposed to be 10 minutes from the cruise dock.

Mishelle Posted August 12, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Thanks for the information. She has decided to save her money and just do the dives on the other Islands. She did say nothing could be worse then diving in NY there was hardly any visibility. Once again thanks for the quick reply's. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_G Posted August 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Mishelle Good choice. My wife and I dove in San Juan Feb,2005. Visibility was 6 feet. You could only see the feet of your buddy. My wife was getting Nitrox certified so we elected to dive. All in all we had a great boat ride, with lunch. My wife got nitrox certified and she had the experience of very limited visibility diving. While the diving sucked, the experience was worthwhile for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
