Cayo del Agua is a good call for an easy afternoon dive off Fajardo. The site sits right around 20 metres, making it perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed bottom time without any surprises. We typically see a good mix of smaller reef fish here, parrotfish grazing the patches of coral, and sometimes a few spotted eagle rays cruising by in the blue.
