The shop

Established 1988

The About page lists Yilmalia Suarez as General Manager and Angel Luis Rijos as Operations Manager, and calls the two owners and management; we state only the titles. The staff list also names captains and instructors, among them Capt. Danny, Juan Jose Amaral, Josh (a dive instructor with a marine biology degree) and Carol Cruz (PADI instructor). PADI lists the shop as a 5 Star Instructor Development Center and says its boats are inspected and licensed by the USCG and the Puerto Rico DNR.

The fleet, per the About page: two 46-foot Newton dive boats and one 47-foot Leopard catamaran. The shop also teaches PADI courses from snorkeling and first aid through scuba certification.
