Wanting to dive in San Juan and wondering if anyone has any experience with diving there? Found the following dive shops on the web, so was looking for some feedback

 

Caribe Aquatic Adventures

La Casa del Buzo

Ocean Sports

Scuba Dogs

 

 

Much appreciated. :)

No really decent diving around San Juan

 

You need to get to the west end for Destachao (sp?), or Mona islands, or out to the east towards old Rosie Roads Naval Station, or to the south coast.....

We dove with Caribe Aquatic last year. It was one of the most unusual dives we've ever done. It's a shore dive behind a hotel, serious swim in heavy surge, not great vis, but we did see a sea horse and some other pretty good marine life-- no reef, just a jetty and tires and such. I think the good PR diving is not at San Juan and therefore too far away for cruisers. I'd say do it if you want to add an unusual dive to your list.

fi0na,

 

I would have to agree with gmcrow. I have been to San Juan twice. I looked around and didn't see anything good. Additionally, I have been looking online occasionally. Caribe Aquatics is consistantly listed as the best diving you are going to find in the San Juan area.

 

All the good dive sites I could find are an hour dive to the east of San Juan or completely on the opposite side of the island. I've written off diving in Puerto Rico from the cruise ships.
