So here’s a small mention to make Willie a very happy man. But Willie Enrique Mojica has proven to be not only a great guy to dive with, but a great professional I had the oportunity to dive with.
I also had various cahnges to dive with people who have known and will tell you what a great Dive Master he has been.
So Willie, here it goes, we all think that Willie Enrique Mojica is the Best Dive Master in Puerto Rico !!!
So we went with a new group certifiyng for PADI from Blue Dolphin Scuba to Aguadilla. I was desperate to try my new Cressi stuff. It was nice, nothing out of the world, but always nice.
More details to come. Want to see a picture of the group ?

So it will be a slow and simple dive, but perfect fro testing and playing around with my new equipemnt whilehaving an easy dive ( and getting to know a new place: Aguadilla ).
So I took a simple image of my new Cressi BC with my iPhone ( camera in my phone). Here it is:

I’m waiting from it, and I’m getting it from Johny at Blue Dolphin Scuba who gave me a great deal. Since he didn’t have in stock the exact components I wanted, it’s been a week I’ve been “needing” it so Johnny please… where is it ???? 
These images where provided by Ruben Lind , one of the diver’s I meet in our trip to Culebra east of Puerto Rico. He was very kind to take some pictures on the boat of part of the group, and later some underwater images of this, your host diver, Flavio.
This image is from the top (2nd floor) of the boat. There were actually 40 divers, yes 40, from different groups on this trip. At the top of the image we can see some of the guys from Blue dolphin Scuba: Willie, Johny, Hector, , and me ( unique red strips ). The water looks so clear and light blue. This was on a rainny cloudy day, imagine what it is when the sun goes out ! Awesome to go scuba diving right ?
Here you can see my FIRST, yes, MY FIRST underwater photograph while diving. It feels so good by looking at it. Can’t wait to go back to Culebra for another dive.
Yes , me again, showing my hand ! Nothing new there. Should I get a housing for my digital camera? I think so.
Every trip must end, adn here we were going up again. Ruben just didn’t want to and stayed back for a last underwater photo.

These images where provided by Hector Garcia , one of the diver’s I meet in our trip to Culebra east of Puerto Rico. We had a lot of fun and hope we cann meet again for another trip. He has a Canon Digital Camera with an underwater housing and I’ve been more than curious about it.
Even though the conditions outside weren’t very good, you can still see thath Herctor Grcia managed to get a couple of very nice udnerwater images in his first dive.
An this fish is a … no idea. Anyone please ?
Small sharks are easy to spot by divers in this areas of reefs al around Puerto Rico. How are they called ?

After a couple of months of hearing about this incredible island east of Puerto Rico, yesterday I got the chance to finally have my first scuba diving experience in 2 of it’s reefs.
It was raining in San Juan de Puerto Rico, but you know tropical climates, it changes fast. We drove from San Juan to Fajardo, were the boat takes off to Culebra at 6am. It took around 50 minutes to get there.
We headed to the luxurious El Conquistador hotel ( more on El Conquistador Hotel in Fajardo ) as soon as we got there. We walked to the boating area ( a beautiful area with nice colored townhouses the hotel rents right in front of the water ). It was very early, so we had to wait as we waited for the rest of the other divers, around 20 other guys from blue Dolphin Scuba all anxious to get on the boat Culebra. The sea was pretty tough because of the weather, but it wasn’t that bad. One hour on the boat and we arrived to Culebra Island.
Please check some of the photos taken I kindly received from some buddy divers:
Soon I will write about:
Perched on a 300-foot cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, El Conquistador Resort is a peaceful oasis on the Island of Enchantment. It is very well known in Puerto Rico as a luxurious hotel and resort. It is divided into five villages, providing a soothing getaway from the stress of the world. Enjoy spectacular, panoramic ocean views at The Grand Hotel of el Conquistador in the villages of Las Brisas and La Vista.
Las Casitas Village - the distinctive four-diamond resort that shares our grounds, where a personal butler is at your service 24 hours a day. Let sea breezes caress you in Las Olas Village, built into the side of a cliff and wrapped around its own swimming pool. Or just relax on your private balcony in La Marina Village, which overlooks the sea and is home to the resort’s Private Marina and the new Sea-Side Water Park.. Experience this vibrant Puerto Rico resort for yourself, complete with outstanding accommodations, attentive service, and a magnificent setting:
Well, after reading and researching for diver information. Puerto Rico can be a Scuba Island. There are so many awesome and varied spots for scuba diving, that again, this scuba island seems to be perfect for anyone who wants to have different expiriences in the Diving World.
There are different scuba islands around Puerto Rico, very near to the coast that offer different experiences for different tastes. Soon I will be visiting one of them, out of Fajardo, one hour away, I will be scuba diving near the island of Culebra near Fajardo this weekend so stay tunned.
In our 2 dives, we saw the usual tropical reef colored fish, but then some more interesting Queen Angels, French Angels, Mero, Blow Fish, Green Morey, some lobsters and a huge crab. You can see some images of them:
