Diving Vieques????

[Wildcard]

Im not finding any dive ops. Any help out there?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think at Seaventures does dives in Vieques out of Humacao. You might want to contact them and ask.

There was a shop there in Esparansa a few years ago.

The website for Blackbeard sports is http://www.blackbeardsports.com/ It isn't helpful at all, except for contact information.

Did anyone have any experience with them or Vieques divers? How was it? I'm going to PR in a few weeks, first time diving, so I'd like to hear how they are if you went with them.

Navigatrix, is Vieques a must in your stop on the island? if not, there might be other diving options for you on you visit here.

Hi fjsala,

Nope, Vieques is not a must, just one of a few places we've been looking into. We're going to be in Puerto Rico a week with a rental car, so we should be able to get anywhere worth going to. Right now, I'm thinking La Parguera, Isla Desecheo, and either Culebra or Vieques. Any suggestions or thoughts? Are these dives appropriate for a beginner? Thanks!

OK...You've done your homework...these are all really good choices, since you'll be renting a car, you will be able to drive to any of the dive operator's locations. Take into account that if you'll be lodging at San Juan, you'll have plenty long drives ahead of you. So, it important to note where you will be staying to coordinate all your dives.

As far as Vieques Vs. Culebra, I think many would agree that Culebra would probably be the best spot vs. Vieques....but take into acount that much like Desecheo, these islands are a good 40-60 boat ride from shore.

Also, you might want to consider dives out of Humacao or Fajardo.

All are good places for any diver at any level, obviously going with the right Dive Operator is a must for a good and safe experience.

For la parguera use Parguera Divers.
For desecheo use Taino Divers.
For humacao or fajardo use Seaventures.
Sorry, no real suggestins for operators in Culebra or Vieques.

Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions...always willing to help someone form Boston!

And..good luck with your certification.
