I have dived the west coast of Puerto Rico but never the east. Any recomendations. All are welcomed and appreciated. Good Viz, George
George Correa:Ahoy there fellow salts ! Going back to the roots for 10 days with my lady.
Hey witch ! Gracias for replying. I was there in 98 and the new expressway was already built. I will take your advise and check out Isabela, but for sure Vieques or Culebra. Big animals on that side I hear. Thanx again. I will have a cold Presidente and a few surrullitos on your behalf. ;-) Good Viz, GeorgeSeawitch2:George,
If you want to stay in the east coast, your best bet is going to Vieques or Culebra. The ferries run form Fajardo on a daily basis. The east coast is not very good for diving. Other option is going to Isabela. The have very nice walls and caverns in that area. I don't know when was the last time you were there, but there is a new express way that takes you from San Juan to Isabela in no time.
Have a wonderful time!! Have a pina colada and a few "surrullitos" for me.
I concur with SW, Culebra is really nice. I haven't been to Vieques yet, but I did enjoy Culebra over Fajardo. I'm going to P.R. in May with a group that I put together, and I've managed to get a 3 day camping/diving trip to Mona as part of the itinerary - WOOHOO! I can't wait. The next 7 weeks are going to drive me crazy. Have a great trip and let us know how the Mofongo and Tostones are scuba-punk:Presidente? Man, drink the local stuff - Medalla!

Balla Frank ! Que pasa ? I would drink Medalla but I can't get past that taste. :-( ! I will have to checkout one of those 2 east coast islands. Probably Culebras. Are there big animals there ? I will be leaving on April 2nd, I think I made a mistake on the first post regarding the subject, so I have time to do some research and make some calls. The west coast, I will be definetly diving. I dove there in 98, I liked it. Desecheo and La Parguera were pretty cool. La Parguera is kind of rough seas, lot of cross currents, but I can handle it. Like yourself, I would like to dive La Mona, it's supposed to be really cool. I booked my airfare today and now I have butterflys in my stomach. It's going to be rough until I leave. I will have a hard time sleeping now. I will report back after I return and tell you how it went. I'll have a Mofongo and some alcapurrias in your name.scuba-punk:Presidente?

Salud ! ahhhhhhh Te veo bro ! Good Viz, George. P.S. If ever in Chicago, Look me up, We'll dive Lake Michigan.
Seawitch2:
OMG...Medalla ranks number two on my list of worst beers of all time...scuba-punk:
James Goddard:
I not one of those people that just because it's produced in the country, I'm going to drink it. It taste terrible and that's the bottom line. :yuck: People there drink it for that reason-Consume what your motherland produces. Well if the motherland produced something good, beilive me, I would consume it. Just like Barcardi, that is the worse Rum I have ever tasted. The locals don't even drink it...and it's produced in Puerto Rico. Good divin & good viz, GeorgeGeorge Correa:Hey witch, can you camp and scuba dive from La Mona island ? If so, that might be an option for us. Do they supply sleepping bags and tents. Give me the scoop
