Discover Scuba Diving in San Juan
Overview
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.

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.

Participants in the Discover Scuba Diving in San Juan cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
