Me and my family went to Puerto Rico last month and I took about 800 pics in total (land and under water). I got to snorkel on two different sides of the island and free dove a little bit also. First place I snorkeled was on the southwest side of the island. The city is named Guanica. My aunt live there and took me to a decent spot for snorkeling. If time would have permitted I would have gone to gilligans island which you can actually see from her house but I didn't get a chance to go. The second place we went was a small island named Culebra on off the southeast part of PR. The island has one of the top 3 rated beaches in the world (flamenco beach) and also two of the better spots for snorkeling on the island (tamarindo beach and carlos rosario). At our resort we found sand dollars and star fish lining a lot of spots under neath us while swimming but surf and visibility didn't allow for any snorkeling. I will post the underwater pics first and try to get the pics of the island up within a few days. Also please mind the quality of pics as it was the first time using this new camera. Anyways enough talking here are the pics....

thanks a lot and anytime. It was my first time using this camera so I didn't know all the ins and outs of it and how certain settings were going to react but overall I am def happy with the pics. The schools of the Atlantic blues were amazing. Huge schools.

Nice Picture. I wish people from here would contact me before comming to the island. I know some places that aren't that big as the reef from culebra but you would be amaze. all my snorkeling and scuba diving spots are from the soutwest to the north west side of the island. You will need an entire week on the water to see part of this spots.
