Adventure & Dive Trips

Catamaran Sailing & Snorkeling Adventure Trip

Upon departing the marina, our quests enjoy the beautiful views of the El Yunque rainforest and the warm waters of the Puerto Rico coastline. After a comfortable sail of about 45 minutes we anchor at one of the small deserted island off the northeast corner of Puerto Rico. Our captain will take you where the conditions and snorkeling are the best for the day, sometimes Icacos, Palominito, Lobos, or Palominos islands.

The boat is anchored right up to the island, where our quests step off the boat into shallow water and spend about 2 hours beachcombing and swimming in the warm waters. Snorkeling instruction is offered at this time for those who would like it.

On board, we serve a lunch buffet consisting of fresh fruits, fresh baked bread, slice deli meats, cheeses, tuna or crab salad, gourmet pasta salad, cole slaw and chips. Beverages such as soda, water, juices, piña coladas, and beer are always available, along with chips and peanuts.

After lunch is served, we take the boat a short distance and anchor over the reef for about two hours of snorkeling. A leisurely sail back to the marina brings us to the dock refreshed and rejuvenated.

Two-Tank Dive Trip (For Certified Divers)

General Information about diving in northeast Puerto Rico:

*Water temperature is about 80 f year round
*Visibility up to 60 feet
*Depths of dive sites range 30 to over 70 feet
*Type of diving: Coral Reef Diving

Our dive excursions to the Spanish Virgin Islands depart the Marina each morning for a day of diving adventure. These are two-tank dives on colorful coral reefs teeming with yellowtail snapper, sergeant majors, parrotfish, Nassau grouper, spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, moray eels, spiny lobster, and much more. Depths at these locations range from about 10 to over 70 feet, providing fascinating sights for everyone, from the casual snorkeler to the most avid diver. We provide a full all-you-can-eat luncheon buffet; unlimited refreshments, tanks, weights, and first-rate service aboard our U.S. Coast Guard certified 38-foot Delta dive excursion boat.

Culebra And Vieques Dive Trip

These two lush and beautiful islands are located just off the northeast tip of Puerto Rico. Here you find some of the best diving in the area. The diving that these Islands offer is breathtaking. Both Islands have numerous wrecks, from old tall ships to modern day tugboats. The reefs are teaming with all kinds of marine life. The visibility on a bad day is 60 feet, on a good day it seems that you can see forever. The dive sites to choose from are endless off these two islands. If you prefer diving in 15 feet or 120 feet of water we can find a dive site right for you.

Night Dive Trip

In addition to our daily dive trip to the Spanish Virgin Islands, we also have night dives every Full Moon. Night Dives adds a whole new twist to diving. Even if you have been to the site before, you will discover something new, from a new fish to a coral head that you passed up before. We leave the dock on our 38-foot Delta Class Dive Boat one hour before sunset to go to the dive site. Once at the dive location we do a briefing about the dive. And then just as the sun is setting the divers get into the water, to let there adventures begin!
