    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    San Slide, off Fajardo's East Coast, offers a gentle drift along a sandy slope dotted with coral bommies. We often spot garden eels swaying in the current and eagle rays gliding past in the deeper sections. It's a relaxed dive, good for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy second tank with pleasant scenery. Keep an eye out for southern stingrays resting on the sand.
