Aqua Adventures Puerto Rico
Try scuba diving for the first time in San Juan with expert guides from Aqua Adventures Puerto Rico. Learn, practice, and explore in just two hours beneath Caribbean waters.
Aqua Adventures Puerto Rico is a San Juan-based water-activity provider specializing in shore dives, guided snorkeling, Sea Trek helmet-walks, and beginner discover-scuba experiences.
Operating from San Juan, the company runs shore dives at the Caribe Hilton beach where colorful coral reefs, underwater caverns, and abundant marine life — including reef fish, sea turtles, and manatees — can be observed. Guests on the Caribe Hilton shore dive enjoy complimentary amenities and a partner discount at the Hilton's restaurant.
The Sea Trek experience gives participants an underwater helmet that supplies air, allowing visitors aged 8 and older to walk freely on the seafloor and experience a weightless, 'moonwalking' sensation without full scuba training. San Juan Snorkeling departures launch from the Caribe Hilton beach for one-hour guided visits to a vibrant rock reef where octopus, squid, colorful reef fish, and even seahorses can be seen; these snorkeling trips are led by experienced guides. Discover Scuba Diving in San Juan is a two-hour introductory program that covers basic dive theory, pool practice, and a supervised beach or boat dive—designed specifically for beginners seeking a safe, time-efficient introduction to diving.
All activities emphasize hands-on learning, direct access from San Juan beaches, and family-friendly options suitable for participants meeting the stated age and experience requirements. Many trips depart directly from the Caribe Hilton beach and nearby San Juan launch points for easy access. Booking options accommodate individual travelers, families, and beginners seeking guided underwater experiences with short, well-structured schedules.
