Active Pursuits in Southwest Coast Beach Resorts

Scuba Diving, Snorkeling & Other Outdoor Pursuits -- The best dive operation in Guánica is Island Scuba (tel. 787/309-6556), which provides direct service to the Copamarina Beach Resort. The company's Delta 38 sportfish power boat will pick up guests from the resort's long pier where fishing is permitted. A two-tank dive costs $110, plus $20 for full diving equipment. The outfit is the closest to the spectacular diving sites around The Wall, a 22-mile-long formation, marked by canyons and crevices, at the edge of the continental shelf. The area is filled with coral and schools of tropical fish. The underwater wonderland lies two miles offshore.
