Awesome spot: La Parguera in Guanica, Puerto Rico
This was an awesome experience. 4 am I meet with Willie, our Dive Master, and we both drove to Guanica, an awesome paradise for scuba diving South of Puerto Rico. The ride is about 2 hours from San Juan, the road is very good and clean. You cross the island through some small mountains reveling very beautiful views thoughout the whole trip.
Once we reached Guanica, all I wanted to know about was about “The Wall” and that’s where I learnt that “El Beril” and “La Parguera” all refer to the same thing. We meet with some other divers, and around 8:00 am we were set to go on the boat that was taking us right over “El Beril” as they called it.
The dive starts around 80 feet and we went up to 100 feet on the border of “El Beril” of Guanica. Visibility was around 100 feet. But La Parguera actually drops from 60 feet to sea floor, at around 2000 feet (more about Scuba Diving La Parguera in Guánica, south of Puerto Rico ).
I have to tell you, it’s impressive to by diving, and suddenly it feels te world has come to an end, the floor just vanishes as it falls 2000 feet but you only see the abyss. IT’s an incredible sensation, and you feel so small in that huge place.
“La Parguera de Guanica”, is an amazing experience I would recommend it to all divers and one of the best spots for scuba diving in Puerto Rico.

This is one of the best dive spot of Puerto Rico, the boat ride was about 20 to 15 min from “Playa Santa” to the wall or “El Beril”. The visibility is incredible. The two dive spot are good for either Open Water and Advanced divers. The first one “the falling rock” is a amazing dive and the other “El Terremote” is a shallow dive with alot of marine life good for photografy and fish-n-coral id. If you come to Puerto Rico to scuba dive you must visit “El Beril” and remmeber be a SAFETY SCUBA DIVER.
