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. Visibility is often decent, letting you take your time exploring the reef. It’s a comfortable, low-stress dive, ideal if you're just getting your fins wet in Puerto Rico or want to shake off some rust.
