The dive masters were all very professional and easy to be with including Ami, Coulter(Coulton) and Heather. Nacho was our boat captain and kept all the great gear in clean orderly shipshape condition. The pace of my two 40 feet depth dives was perfect and allowed ample time to ogle sea turtles, eels, strange fish and coral. Booking my dives was easy and everything advertised went according to plan and even better than I had anticipated. The value also exceeded my expectation. I…”

Guides including Marin, Lorena, and Carolina work with small groups of up to eight. You must swim, meet the health rules, and avoid flying for 18 to 24 hours afterward.

“I was very nervous about scuba diving but the instructor took his time to really work with us and ease our nerves. He explained the equipment and how our bodies work in the water, and how they adjust at different depths. I'm a detail oriented person and really appreciated the in depth lesson in the pool before hand. I would absolutely book this tour again and feel confident my 2nd dive will be even more enjoyable now that I have a little more knowledge and experience under my belt. I originally wasn't going to book the picture package because I have my own go pro but we decided to add…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 191 reviews · from $178

Meet at Villa Marina at 7:45 am for two guided scuba sessions in Fajardo’s shallow coral reefs. Certified divers descend 15 to 80 feet with PADI staff, using provided equipment while looking for turtles, rays, lobsters, crabs, fish, and coral. Guides such as Victor, Samuel, and Jonathan have earned praise for careful support. Pickup costs extra.

“Most important thing - transportation is NOT INCLUDED, despite what Viator says. If you’re staying in San Juan, you need to either rent a car or pay the dive shop for transportation - about $100 each way. If multiple parties end up needing transportation, they’ll split the cost per person (we paid about half the cost to split with another group), but if no other group is going you’ll pay the full cost. Aside from the transportation issue, the dive is a lot of fun and the dive masters are all well trained and great at finding sea life. We felt very safe and looked after both on the boat…”
