It is a skills and buoyancy friendly dive rather than a deep one; gratuities are extra. 4.73 from 56 reviews at €81 per person. **Certified, in town?:** Guided shallow dive in a protected park, gear, lockers and showers on site at €81 per person for 2h 30m; two to book, tips extra. 4.73 from 56 reviews. Trade-off: Shallow buoyancy dive, not a deep one. (last checked September 19, 2026) ## 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. In particular, this scuba tour for certified divers is uniquely AMAZING in the sense that it's a shallow dive no deeper than 30' which allows you to explore safely without decompression issues; practice basic skills and neutral buoyancy in a protected bay; encounter a great diversity and abundance marine life including yellowtail snappers, damselfish, stingrays and turtles; and explore a diverse bottom composition including the historic fish wall, statues, roman columns, shipwreck structures, and coral reef formations. 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. ## Key facts - Price: from €81 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.73/5 from 56 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Scuba Dogs - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## What's included - Direct supervision by a certified professional to guide you - 45 minutes exploring underwater in direct contact with the diverse marine life - Use of SCUBA equipment - Use of our excellent facilities with lockers, restrooms, and fresh-water showers to rinse afterward - Swings on the beach & gift shop with refreshments ## Not included - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Enjoy the natural beauty of an urban reef located in a historic site in the m...** (admission included) - Enjoy the natural beauty of an urban reef located in a historic site in the middle of metropolitan San Juan.
