PR Dive

La Parguera, Puerto Rico

The team at PR Dive are exactly the sort of people you want running your dive day. Based right in La Parguera, they’ve got that laid-back island vibe but run a tight ship when it comes to safety and getting you to the best spots. We love their focus on personalized trips, often meaning smaller groups on the boat, which makes a real difference when you’re trying to photograph a shy seahorse or just enjoy the quiet. They're a fantastic pick if you're looking for solid PADI instruction, from your Open Water right through to specialties, delivered by patient, knowledgeable instructors. Our favourite part about diving with PR Dive is their local knowledge. They really know these reefs. We’d suggest asking them to take you to the Wall, which just drops away into the blue, dotted with huge barrel sponges and gorgonian corals swaying in the gentle current. Keep an eye out for green sea turtles munching on seagrass in the shallows near the boat. Visibility here is consistently good, often pushing 25 meters, especially in the mornings before any afternoon chop picks up. After a two-tank dive, grab some fresh ceviche from one of the vendors back on the boardwalk. It’s the perfect end to a dive day.
