Crash Boat Piers

No reviews yetPuerto Rico, West coast and Mona island

From the beach you can follow the main pier out on eihter side. Facing out on the left are two square free standing piers. The pillars on all of the piers are covered in sealife and many fish hang around underneath. On the right of the main pier there is one self standing pier same as on the left, but if you go to the right of the self standing pier there is one that has collapsed and is completly submerged. Every day you can find sergeants, tangs, angelfishes, filefishes, trunkfishes, goatfishes, butterflyfishes, damselfishes, flounders, snappers, wrasses, moray eels, rockfishes, sand divers; occasionally you can find sea turtles, porkfishes, flying gurnards, squids, octopus, trumpetfish; and if you are lucky enough you can even find seahorses. IF you go straight out past the piers the water will drop to 80 feet but there is nothing to see. Access to the beach is located on Rt 107 in Aguadilla. There is a small road sign pointing towards Crash Boat Beach. You can park at either parking lot for access to the dive site. Parking during the summer weekends are hectic.

Desecheo

No reviews yetPuerto Rico, West coast and Mona island

Because of a healthy reef and clear waters, with common visibility ranging from 30 to 45 metres (98 to 148 ft), Desecheo is a very popular place for diving fans. Although diving is permitted around the island, the refuge is closed to the public due to the presence of unexploded military ordinances. Trespassers are subject to arrest by Federal law enforcement officers. Desecheo is a small, uninhabited island off the west coast of Puerto Rico — about 12 miles west from Rincon. It's a small island, only about 0.6 square miles of total land mass. Due to its isolated location, not too many people get to visit the area, and the reefs around the island remain in excellent shape — full of life and color. The water visibility is always good, over 100 ft. During winter months, you may hear the humpback whales or may see them.
