Discover Scuba Diving in San Juan

About this experience

Scuba Dogs is a PADI 5-Star Dive Center; the only official operator with all gear, restrooms, showers, lockers and professional staff right there at the Marine Park.

In particular, the Discover Scuba activity is uniquely AMAZING in the sense that you get to float completely weightless, break all the rules of nature breathing comfortably underwater, and come in direct contact with a great abundance of marine life.

After a colorful description of the historic and ecological value of this epic site, a professional theory review on the science of diving, and basic skills training in the shallow part of the shoreline, you'll be exploring the entire bay safely under the direct supervision of a dive professional.
