Good to know

  • Divers must have their diver certification
  • Age limit: Minimum 10 years old
  • You will be required to complete a PADI Medical Questionnaire at check-in. Please review in advance.  If you have any of the health conditions listed on the medical statement you will not be able to participate without a doctor’s consent. Call the dive center if you have any concerns.
  • As part of the training, you will learn that you need to allow 18 hours to pass before flying after diving!
  • After equipment fitting, you will follow the guide in your own transportation to the entry point for the snorkeling tour (5 min +/- from the dive center). If you need transportation from the dive center and back, please give the dive center a call so advance arrangements can be made. Additional charges may apply.
  • It is important to drink plenty of water before arrival for hydration.

Sun Protection

  • PROTECT THE MARINE RESERVE: Avoid using sunscreens that contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, and parabens. Reef-Friendly sunscreen is available for purchase at the dive center.
  • Sun protective clothing like long-sleeve rash guards are a great alternative to sunscreen and are available for purchase.
  • The chemicals found in regular sunscreens are harmful to coral. Their tiny particles can be ingested, leading to toxicity and coral bleaching. Reef-friendly sunscreens avoid these toxic ingredients. Reef-SAFE sunscreens avoid harmful chemicals AND use ‘non-nano’ particles that are too large to be absorbed by corals, thus protecting marine ecosystems.
  • If you’re looking at a mineral-based formula, be sure it says ‘non-nano’

What You’ll See & Do

Join our scuba diving tours and leave our experienced Rincón diving staff to guide the way, so all you need to think about is enjoying your surroundings. Every day the weather permits, Rincón Diving & Snorkeling offers escorted group trips to local reefs in Puerto Rico. We offer some of the best shore diving in Puerto Rico with no boat required. Our trips have brought divers together from around the world and they now look forward to meeting again in another new exotic location.

Follow your certified instructor through crystal-clear waters and pristine reefs to see sea life such as octopuses, rays, sea turtles, and more. The coral is equally dazzling with this area being home to some of the largest endangered elkhorn coral on the island.

If you choose to do the two-tank dive, you’ll move on to a different spot for your second dive.

Answers to Your Questions


Unfortunately not, this excursion is exclusively for certified divers.

Water temperature in Puerto Rico ranges from 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter months (December-March) to 84 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months. Most divers get cold in the winter months and a wetsuit is recommended. At other times of the year, wetsuits are good for abrasion protection. Wetsuits are available for rental for an additional fee, check out our rental rates.

The temperate waters of Puerto Rico are home to many species of fish of all sizes. Some we see every day are parrotfish, butterflyfish, blue tangs, sergeant majors, angelfish, squirrelfish. In fact, look at a fish ID guide for the Caribbean and we see those same characters every day. Ahhh… life in paradise.

The minimum age for scuba certification is 10 years.
