Head to the southwest corner. There's lots of good diving in Mayaguez,
La Parguera, Boqueron, etc. Unfortunately, the diving around San Juan
is not so good.

I did some research on diving in Puerto Rico once because I took a Caribbean
cruise that started from Old San Juan where the port was. What I learned
was that the waters around San Juan are not worth diving. However, there
apparently is some decent diving on the eastern part of the island but it
takes about an hour or two to get there.

We dove with La Parguera (sp?) down on the southwest coast. Nice diving
over the edge @ 80' and lots of black coral at < 100' too

It will be much warmer than diving in Lake Superior and you can practice
Spanish with the locals. Have some beans and rice as they are generally
excellent.

Smoke some cigars too:)

I think I am going to head to Fajardo, do some snorkeling and look
around. Not going to waste my breath or money on it if it looks crappy.
The only thing things that I have heard that are good on the east coast
is an island - Vieques? but I heard it's almost always an overnight.

Thanks for all the tips. Maybe I will check out the southwest area.

The cigars will be good, but not Cuban.

Hey guys,

A while back I posted to see if anyone had ever done any dives in Puerto
Rico. What I found is a bit discouraging - not a lot of good things to
say about it.

I'll be staying in Old San Juan. Does anyone have anything good to say
about diving there in February?

Thanks,
M@
