The guides

Local certified guides, small groups

The site names Lemuel as owner and a certified scuba instructor; no last name is published. Guides are certified locals, and the listing says tours run in English and Spanish.

The Melones Beach meeting point is on the site's contact page. Some time slots depart from different locations, including a Condado location on the main island for the reef snorkel and try dive, so check the location for your slot when booking.

“All of our excursions include the use of premium snorkel gear, you just show up.”
