Highlights
No experience needed — just the desire to go deeper. This is your chance to breathe underwater, explore a live coral reef, and find out what scuba diving actually feels like before committing to a full certification course. Learn at a real training facility, professional certified instructors, a full marine life and eco briefing, and groups of no more than four people per instructor — not a rushed experience run out of a truck. All dives are shore entries from the beach — no boat involved and zero risk of motion sickness. You walk in from the sand, which means the experience is more relaxed from the start and accessible to travelers who'd rather skip the boat altogether. You'll dive Tres Palmas Marine Reserve and Black Eagle Beach, two of Rincón's most stunning underwater sites Ability to swim is required. Prior snorkeling experience recommended but not essential.. .

5Great instructor, took...
Great instructor! He took the time to explain everything clearly and helped my 13-year-old daughter feel comfortable during her first scuba diving experience. Thank you for making it such a positive and memorable adventure!
5AMAZING EXPERIENCE
AMAZING experience! Adam was awesome and so friendly!! He let us take our time so we were comfortable with the water pressure and environment. He was patient with us and very easy to talk to! Thank you so much Adam! The actual scuba diving itself lasted about an hour. Also spotted a ton of see urchin, some cool sea life, and a school of blue fish! The price for the experience was well worth it.
5Great family experience!
Had a great experience with Brenda! Patient and thorough instructor with lots of great suggestions for other things to do in the area. Only issue was that the link for the waiver that was sent about a week before via email, didn’t work. The link sent by text the day before our dive did work.
5Best dive experience in Rincon
Amazing dive shop and team. Took us out and showed us some reef. Super professional and fun. Dive masters took great time getting a ten year old comfortable to dive. Memories made.
5It was fun
One of the best I experienced in puertorico. I even saw 3 sharks. Lesson at beginning was fast ending.
4Bit expensive, but good scuba diving tour for beginners
Good scuba diving tour for beginners. To begin with, the operator played 15 minutes of instructional video which clearly explained the basic techniques. The same thing was then re-iterated one more time by the guide. They also had few quiz questions that they asked the participants to answer to ensure everyone paid attention and understood the basic techniques. Then they took us to a shallow water area in the beach, and the guide went through the basic instructions one more time. We also did some practice in the shallow area before they took us to the deeper region. But unfortunately, the weather conditions were not ideal. The visibility in the water was not great which impacted the whole experience. Also, the depth to which they took us was only a few feet down and it was quite less compared to few other international locations that we did previously. Overall, we felt the tour was a bit expensive for the experience we got, but we still had a good time.

About Rincón
Rincón is a small surf town on Puerto Rico's west coast, known for beaches that face the sunset, a coral reserve and humpback whales in winter.
Rincón sits on a headland on the west coast of Puerto Rico, facing the Mona Passage, with beaches on either side that catch the winter swells. It hosted the world surfing championships in 1968, and surfing is still the town's reason for being, with breaks named Domes, Maria's, Indicators and Sandy Beach. Domes takes its name from the dome of a former nuclear reactor on the cliff above.
