Diving & Snorkeling
There's diverse diving all around this 100- by 35 mile island, from beginner-friendly coral gardens to steep and deep walls, a handful of wrecks and some offshore islets with truly world-class reefs. Divers have discovered the underwater offerings at resort areas like San Juan, Dorado, Fajardo and Humacao. Divers also head to satellites islands of Culebra, Vieques, Mona and Desecheo.

Black Wall (Southwest Coast): a sheer wall draped in black coral trees begins at 60 feet and drops to 200. |
|
El Diablo (Northeast, off Fajardo): coral gardens in 50 feet of water. |
|
The Pinnacle (Northeast, off Humacao): a coral chimney soars from 165 feet to just 20 feet below the surface and is sheathed in corals and sponges. |
|
Witt Power (Culebra Island): an encrusted tugboat, sunk in 1984 in 40 feet of water. |
|
Angel Reef (Vieques Island): a shallow reef teeming with marine life, off the island of Vieques. |

Carabinero Rock (Mona Island): called the Galapagos of the Caribbean, this destination is for the truly adventurous. A three-or four-hour boat ride from the mainland brings you to a stellar wall dive with reliable 200-foot vis. |
