About this dive site

This dive site, known as The Ledges, is a shallow and sheltered location ideal for both snorkeling and diving. Located off the coast of Puerto Rico, it features natural ledges and an intriguing man-made element: old phone lines and underwater cables that trace back towards the main island, adding a unique historical touch to the underwater landscape. Navigation is straightforward due to its shallow nature and generally mild conditions.

Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter the usual vibrant flora and fauna typical of Caribbean reef systems, including various species of reef fish, hard and soft corals, and other invertebrate life. While specific species are not mentioned, the healthy reef environment supports a diverse ecosystem suitable for observation.

The Ledges is best visited when seeking calm and clear conditions, making it an excellent year-round destination given its sheltered position from prevailing winds and waves. Its shallow depths and mild currents make it particularly suitable for beginner divers and freedivers looking to practice skills or simply enjoy a relaxing underwater experience. Snorkelers will also find it very rewarding.
