Go see Rambo and rent some equipment for some crystal clear beach snorkeling! Great small business with a very helpful staff and genuinely excited to help you get on the water! Very reasonably priced as well. read more

We went December 8th and had a really great time. I lost the card that showed our tour guides name as we were coming back to the states so I unfortunately cant say his name but he was really chill and informative. I would post pictures but only our tour guide took them and I lost the card that shows his name and how to get them. Only taking off one star as we had to wait an hour to start our trip since their system didn't save any of the reservations made for that morning and then another 30 minutes to actually get started with the guide as family came in last minute took quite a while to try to adapt before they finally went back as the kids couldnt get it. I dont fault the shop for that but maybe if we could have had the option to go without children. read more

My wife and I purchased a power snorkel tour of the reef at the marina and it was amazing. The scooters give an extra punch to get through rough wasters or help dive down faster, if your going to snorkel, define fly add this to your excursion. We had a lot of fun, safety was to notch, and we saw a ton of fish. Overall I'd say it's totally worth the money. Brenda was our guide and showed us a great time. Everything was super professional, and at the same time very relaxed and stress free. We learned a lot and have some great memories. read more

The employee working today cost me about $150 and wasted two hours of my time and my buddy's time by being a general nudnik. My buddy left to go diving at 8:30 am but for some reason they didn't leave to go dive until 10:30 according to the employee. I went by the shop to inquire what time they'd be coming back and she said 2pm. I left a note as an extra precaution which she put with his keys to make extra sure he'd get it. Long story short....they actually came back at 12, she didn't give him the note. At first she said she did, but she realized I was going to talk to him and gave me some story about how she forgot because she thought he paid for two dives instead of one, my buddy/ride looked for me for two hours, I looked and waited for him for two hours, and I'm gonna have to take a taxi for $150 to leave this nothing place. Hopefully she's not the same one refilling the oxygen bottles. read more

Had a great time diving today with this company. Alex, our guide/instructor was very knowledgeable and gave our small dive group an amazing experience. This was my first off shore dive as I usually go off of a boat. We had to swim an easy bit out and were able to check out a couple of really great coral reefs with plenty of wildlife to see. Would definitely go back and recommend to others. read more

This was my first time snorkeling and it was amazing. Everyone was so informed and told us what to look out for. Our instructor was Darryl and he was awesome! After everyone else left, he still took me out for a second snorkel session since I was the only one who wanted to go back out! That was incredibly nice!!!! The people are super sweet and helpful. I definitely will be coming back! Thank you so much!! read more

This is the best and most economical please is the west for snorkeling. By been in rincon the sea is not that wavy and not been as touristy as lajas the tours are very economical. Daniel the guide took me to two different reefs, the guy took great pictures for me and the guy is very patient for beginners. I highly recommend this please. read more

My family did a private snorkeling session with Evan today. We had a wonderful time. Evan was knowledgable, friendly, and gave great instruction. I am pretty apprehensive about being in the ocean, but he did a great job easing my fears. Far exceeding everything else was the care he gave to my 5 year old son who snorkeled (like a champ!) for the first time today. Evan pretty much did everything to care for my son while I freaked out and my husband tried to enjoy the scenery. I ended up watching from the shore after feeling a little sea sickness and felt perfectly comfortable that they were about 50 feet out. A big bonus--he showed us some awesome fish and was very knowledgable about the underwater ecosystem. Highly recommend this company. In addition to the great time we had today, they were prompt to respond to emails and very professional. Most tour companies we've dealt with in Puerto Rico were either completely unprofessional or never responded to requests. Not sure how companies that rely on tourist revenue are so flaky, but that's another gripe for another day. But lends to the professionalism of this company being so refreshing. read more

My mother and I wanted to do something while in Rincon but did not feel ready for a dive. We decided on a Snorkeling trip. The shop is closed on Wednesdays but we were still able to book a snorkeling trip on July 1st. It turned out to be just my mother and I along with our guide, which wasn't so bad. Our guide was friendly, informative and made us feel very at ease. We went right off of steps beach where the water was a beautiful blue, and we saw lots of elkhorn coral and different fish. We were able to rent two underwater cameras to take photos, which was also fun. My personal favorite part of the experience was when our guide pointed out a school of fish and I got to swim among them. The snorkeling trip is great for families or just those who don't want to dive quite yet. read more

Great service and friendly! My sons and I did a 2 tank shore dives while on vacation, Divemaster Darryl was great, always on the look for sea life to show us. Definitely recommend them!! read more

Had a great time scuba diving. It was my first time and surprisingly not as hard to do as I thought. Very safe. I would say it's very much like meditation, all you need to do is breath. read more

Great folks, good rental equipment. Went on snorkle and dive trip with Daryl. He was knowledgeable, patient and helped us feel safe. The shore dive was awesome. read more

We wanted to go snorkeling on our trip to Rincon so the day after we got here we stopped in and set up an appointment. The girl who assisted us was really nice and was more than happy to answer all our questions we had about the experience. We were able to get spots to snorkel the next day at 9AM! When we got there we signed release wavers and got fitted for our gear. With the price of snorkeling ($50) you receive the googles, the mouthpiece to beathe, and the flippers for your feet. They also will offer you a life vest and swimming noodles in case you are not very comfortable swimming for long periods of time! I asked for both a vest and a noodle! You then drive around 10 minutes to get to the beach and it's a very nice one, very clean! After another short briefing about the possible wildlife and things you might see in the reef you get in the water and travel as a group! Overall it is a lot of swimming, you swim out pretty far as well! We swam for 2-2.5 hours and it was very tiring! Seeing the marine life tho is definitely worth it. I enjoyed doing it and would do it again. The instructor is very friendly and makes you feel right at home diving into the ocean! read more

Rincon Diving & Snorkeling - Free Diving Near Me - Rincon, Puerto Rico

On vacation with family in Rincon we scheduled a night dive 2 days ahead of time. in person at their shop. Were told to be at there shop at 6pm. Gave all info that they requested including phone numbers. We scheduled our entire day to make sure we don't miss the dive. We were at the shop 10 min before the shop was locked. Waited tried to call the number on the door. Nothing. We understand that things happen weather personal etc but the very very least give a courtesy call/text and let us know the dive is not going to happen. No apology the girl answering the phone the next day did not seem to care. Would recommend Taino Divers if anyone is interested in diving in Rincon read more

I had a wonderful dive at the Wall diving with Rincon. Daniel was as professional as they come.Daniel was my instructor/guide for the day.Carmen who met me at the store's shop was aslo very helpful and can sell you just about anything,from gear to stickers and allways with a smile.I won't forget you guys anytime soon Thanks read more

Great snorkling experience! Saw hundreds of beautiful fish and corals. Learned a lot from our awesome guide Izzy. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Rincon read more

Highly recommended. My son and I haven't dived in 5 years and Carmen and Alex Ramirez answered all questions and assuaged all my concerns. We barely arrived on time but Alex was waiting for us to size our equipment. I wanted an easy, JV day and Alex delivered. He was patient, well-spoken and safety conscious...exactly what I wanted. I brought my non-diving family along, expecting they would snorkel at the same site while my son and I scuba'd. Alex explained they would be disappointed and took the time to give them an alternative site (Steps Beach). He gave them directions as well as the local gotchas. They had a great time. My son and I dove at the Blue House first then Stella Beach for our second dive. Alex set up everything and explained each dive's particulars. We were never rushed. Our highlights were the coffin, a Spiny Lobster and a Juvenile Spotted Drum (spectacular fish) among other things. I had an awesome day with my son that I'll never forget. If you're diving in western PR, ask for Alex Ramirez. read more

Brenda is an extremely knowledgeable instructor and we had a great time exploring the wall. She also took time to go and help me get a net that had been stuck in the Reef for a friend and local fisherman. I have already scheduled another dive and would recommend them to anyone. read more

All I look for in a dive shop - thanks Rincon Diving & Snorkelling, we had a great day. My boyfriend and I did a 2 tank dive with our guide, Tom, who took us to two very different shore-entry dives in Rincon (Coffin and Cross / Stella) The RDS team were welcoming, informed and made sure we felt safe, secure and knew what to look for when we were under the water. While on the dive, Tom patiently worked with a group of different levels and made sure we all had a great time underwater. That as well as being a really interesting person to chat to while we were above water in between dives. I have been diving for a while but this was my first time doing a shore entry - and made me want to come back to do more. It's a really great experience swimming out then dropping down to see such diverse underwater landscape. Thanks again Tom and RDS - thoroughly recommend diving with this team. read more

This is an attentive, organized staff that loves what it does and loves getting people to see the beauty of the Isla del Encanto. Had an unpleasant experience in the past with Rincón's most known dive shop, so I steered clear this time around and booked with these guys instead. Daniel took me on two dives today. He's a calming presence, takes things at your pace and is an overall awesome guy with a lot of knowledge of local culture and nature. I have 2 more dives booked for tomorrow. Can't wait! read more

Absolutely best service and happiest dive I have ever had. I had a situation were the dive shop I was going to use could not accommodate me (not their fault) so at the last minute I called Rincon Diving and they set me up with a dive partner for a late afternoon (rare) dive. Just to help me go blow bubbles. I wish to thank everyone personally especially my dive master/instructor Daniel. I will defiantly dive here again. read more

Awesome experience with Alex Ramirez teaching me to dive for the first time. He was very patient and calm and made my first dive a memorable experience. Great teacher! Also like to thank Carmen for being a friendly face and saving me from the mosquitos as well as giving me cupcakes as I left. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Just enjoyed probably the best free-dive snorkeling experience I have had in Puerto Rico in all my years of coming to the island with a 30+ year marriage to a Borinquen.. Even in my first contacts with Brenda the Owner a few weeks ago and now today my Guide Phillip, there was friendly and warm discourse prior to my plunge.. I am an older ex-military outdoor junkie teaching sailing, skiing and hang-gliding in my native Chicago environs.. I appreciate the guidance and responsible approach this business takes in assisting guests with unfamiliar dives as I had never dove in the western part of PR, especially with a beach-shore launch rather than a boat-dive. Phil is a U.S.-educated diver eager to share his knowledge of Steps Beach- Tres Palmas Marine Reserve. He covered safety protocol explaining what we may encounter and then gently led me out into the urchin-free beach and rocks to the undulating currents of this underwater paradise. We had to re-schedule from the previous day because of sub-par surf conditions and this impressed me with the concern for safety and enjoyment rather than profit. Once in the water, he established a thorough course around the shore-hugging coral reefs and wildlife. Phil would scout ahead with me close behind watching for all his noteworthy signals of the magnificent vistas and the inhabitants who would otherwise have gone un-noticed hidden in the crannies of the coral and rocks.. Did I mention light turbidity and visibilities greater than 30 feet? Incredible protected wildlife refuge !!! all within feet of shore. Phil proceeded at a leisurely pace all the while turning his head to check my progress.Again, safety was obviously paramount. I strongly recommend Rincon Diving to novices and experienced adventurers alike. Come enjoy one of the Treasures of this Enchanted Island. read more

I e-mailed them a couple days before arriving in Rincon, and they got back to me quickly. I called back and confirmed with Brenda who was very congenial and informed. When I arrived, I realized my car situation was lacking so when I called Rincon Diving again the day before the dive telling them about my situation they offered to pick me up and drop me off! That is great customer service! I dove with Tom, unfortunately they only do shore diving so we drove in his pick up and set off on the beach. You can't get to the best dive sites evidently (per the guide books) but it only cost $66 for a 45min bottom time, BCD, tank, and fins rental (and the pick up was gratis!). We explored the reef and hunted for lion fish which suspiciously weren't around. We visited the memorial site to people lost at sea (it's a coffin but no dead body luckily). I would definitely recommend using them, but beware that they don't have a boat. read more

On my last trip to Rincon (post-Maria), the beaches were looking great! Unfortunately, I forgot to pack my flippers. As I drove from the plaza towards Edwards looking for some place to buy flippers, I passed a store called Rincon Diving & Snorkeling. I'm ashamed to admit I did what was probably an illegal U-turn. Brenda (who I later found out is the owner) was there in the store and she gave me some great tips on flippers and took the time to show me through her inventory and make suggestions. While I was there, I saw they did scuba dives. As someone who's recently certified, I'm always on the lookout for a chance to dive, but at the same time, I know I'm still standing on post-certification shaky baby legs. I tentatively asked Brenda if they had any groups going out that would be okay for my experience level. As luck would have it, there was an opportunity to be a "group of one" the next day. The cost for two tanks and the various supplies I didn't have on me was about $120 or something similar, super reasonable for the area. My dive guide the next day was Sully. Sully was exceedingly patient with me as we suited up and very helpful in filling in the myriad of gaps I had in both knowledge and memory. Our dive was great! Sully pointed out numerous lion fish (a beautiful, but dangerously invasive species) as we floated along. He's got some interesting (mostly easy to understand) hand signals for different types of fish, and it was fun swimming and seeing the fish he pointed out. At one point, we saw a cavern of lobsters. I think we also saw a carp? After we got back to the shop, Brenda gave me a little card with the name of the dive site (Pelican Reef) as well as the depth and time. I'll enter that into my digital log book at some point. I forgot the details of the last few dives, so that card is actually a pretty handy reminder. Super glad I stopped in for flippers, and totally recommend Rincon Diving & Snorkeling for divers of all experience levels. read more

We took the snorkeling tour Wednesday and was very impressed. Our guide Alex Ramirus took us to steps beach and spent hours with us showing us the corals and the many beautiful varieties of fish. He was extremely nice and knowledgeable. This tour was also more economical then others in the area. We will use them again the next time we are in Rincón. read more
