Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits and where to be cautious.

1
Certified DiversWell suited for a single‑day, two‑dive outing — plan return travel so you do not fly within 18–24 hours of your final dive.
2
Try‑Scuba / New DiversBeginner experiences are available, but any diver should account for the post‑dive no‑fly window when scheduling flights.
3
Snorkelers Sharing the BoatSnorkelers can join the same boat, though divers must still observe the 18–24 hour no‑fly guideline after diving.
4
Flyers & Multi‑leg TravelersNot ideal if you have imminent flights: avoid flying for 18–24 hours after your last dive to reduce decompression‑illness risk.

Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

I'm not certified. Can I still dive?

Yes. The Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program lets beginners try diving under direct, one‑on‑one supervision of a PADI Instructor with full pre‑dive training.

How are the dive sites chosen?

The captain selects from six‑plus potential sites on the morning of the trip based on weather, sea conditions and the group's composition to ensure safety and enjoyment.

Can snorkelers go on the same boat as divers?

Yes. Snorkelers are welcome on the same boat and have a guide to the best surface spots; solo snorkelers may prefer a dedicated snorkel tour for a more focused experience.

What is the typical visibility?

Visibility typically ranges from about 20 to 75 feet at the Fajardo reef sites.

What marine life will I see?

Reefs are bustling with tropical fish, sea turtles and rays; nurse sharks are an occasional sighting.
