Overview
Red Hog is a boat-dive wall off Humacao on the southeast coast that a travel guide and a 2015 feature describe as a site for experienced divers. The wall starts at about 80 ft; those two sources say it drops to about 1,160 ft, far past recreational limits, while a 1998 guide gave a diving range of 80–120 ft.[1][2][3]
