Overview

Muelle de Azúcar in Aguadilla is a shallow dive, from shore or by boat, over the remains of an old sugar-plant pier. The sandy bottom is scattered with pier wreckage to about 40 ft. A local operator says visibility is usually very good with normally no strong current, and calls it good for photography and fish ID, with angelfish, trumpetfish, butterflyfish, damselfish and lionfish.[1]
