Puerto Rico Dive Sites

When the north is rough

In winter the north and west coasts often get large swells that make shore entries dangerous. The south coast, the Fajardo cays, Culebra and Vieques face away from that swell and are often calmer — but not always. Always check the live sea conditions before you go.
