- **Puerto Rico Half-Day Shark Diving** — A snorkel with sharks about seven or eight miles off the coast, the one place on the island that runs such encounters, certified by the tourism authority and guided throughout, with snorkel gear, water and snacks included.

- **Discover Scuba in Rincon | Expert Guides, Small Groups** — A try dive from the beach in Rincón with no more than four guests per instructor, a marine life briefing at a real training centre and every piece of gear provided.

- **Guided Coral Reef Scuba Tour / 1 tank (Certified Divers Only)** — A single tank reef dive with a professional guide who picks the site for the day's conditions and often shares photos for free, for certified divers only.
