Can anyone suggest a good dive spot and outfit on Culebra. I will be travelling from San Juan and staying on Culebra for 2 days. Is that enough time? thanks.

When are you going? We're going in March and I just made reservations with Culebra Dive Shop to do some diving. If you'll be there after me, I'll be happy to give my report when we get back.

I've done a bit of web searching about Culebra Divers and Culebra Dive Shop, and I haven't found hardly any comments about either. I liked that CDS takes a maximum 6 divers, so that's why we're going with them.

I would highly recommend Culebra Divers (at the ferry dock). I have done over 80 dives with them over the last four years, and I cannot imagine diving with anyone else on the island. Walter, one of the owners, and the regular divemaster, is an incredible guide, and is very patient with new divers, and people who haven't been in the water in a while. With experienced people, he enjoys his dive and let you do your own thing. Miguel is the other divemaster, and he's great, too. Walter has been operating a dive business on the island for over 15 years. I imagine he has thousand of dives in Culebra's waters. Walter's boat is also a six-pack, so it won't be crowded. Two days is enough, but it will only whet your appetite for more. Please base your decision on who has the most experience - do your research. This is not meant to be a slam to Culebra Dive Shop, but experience and years diving counts for something.

Happy Diving!
Debbie

oops! I checked my notes and it IS Culebra Divers that we are going with -- glad to hear Debbie's glowing reviews of them! I wish the two shops had names that distinguished them a little more -- easy to get confused! :)

Jen,

This may be after the fact, but Culebra Dive Shop has two guys - Jeff & Taz. Jeff has been diving for years and Taz is ex-military - very calm, and under control. He's taught something close to a few thousand resort courses in his life. Be sure to ask the questions mentioned in the previous posts, but ask at both shops. Culebra Dive Shops has recently made some changes to staffing. My husband & I both dove with them in May and they were fantastic - had lots of fun with these guys and they know the water and surrounding areas very well!
