Hello ScubaBoarders! Me and my GF are spending 10days in Luqillo, via AirBnB. Already booked, so there's no changing our home base. We wanted to be close to the Yunque rainforest, and she's already been to San Juan. Also, there was a high risk warning for Dengue Fever in SJ recently so won't be doing anything there, only the airport. Not renting a car. We don't speak Spanish. I have my DAN & travel insurance up to date.
She loves to snorkel and I want to do 3 days of diving and love both. Many questions, so thanks in advance for all your good/bad experiences and valued advice! We've been watching a ton of PR scuba and PR trip YT vids, post your recommended videos! Watched the usual "top-10 waterfalls in PR", etc, those types. Neither of us speak Spanish. We don't drink, party, or care much for bars/nightlife, etc.
-- I'll bring my octopus, regs, computer, booties, camera, and mask. Love my Axiom i3 BCD, but should I bother bringing it?
-- Favorite snorkeling beaches in that northeast zone of the island?
-- Anything special to know when planning dive trips in northeast PR? Best scuba outfits in Luqillo, Fajardo, or on the east coast?
-- Culebra: Scuba outfit? Dive spots? Snorkeling? Ferry or other best way to get there?
-- Vieques: Scuba outfit? Dive spots? Snorkeling? Ferry or other best way to get there?
-- If only one island: Palomino, Culebra, or Vieques? If only doing two, which would you pass on?
-- El Yunque: Touring outfits? Best chance or area to see wildlife? Will do multiple ventures.
Other than the above many things, we'll be happy just being on the beach, restaurants, and taking tons of photos. Thanks for any help!
