Snorkel, Scuba, Fishing & Sailing
During the summer months, the surf along our coast calms down and becomes a great place for Snorkeling just offshore. The Tres Palmas Marine Reserve at Steps Beach is especially good - but you'll find great snorkeling all along the Rincon beaches. During surfing season from November to March - it is better to check with the dive shops and arrange a snorkel trip to some of the calmer offshore reefs or on Desecheo Island which is 12 miles offshore. Dive Shops also have snorkel equipment for sale or rent.
SCUBA diving in Rincon is the best in Puerto Rico due to our location close to great dive sites and Desecheo Island. Although it may take longer to reach, Desecheo Island is designated as a National Reserve Park and offers pristine diving conditions in a protected marine environment, known for its coral formations, reef fish, angels, jacks and even sharks. Rincon is also just a few miles from the dive sites of La Parguera - an easy drive south of Rincon in Lajas, Puerto Rico, famous for its wall diving which drops more than 120 feet. You'll find large deep sea fish, folphins, mahi-mahi, tuna, blue marlin and rare black coral. With average water temperatures of 80º Fahrenheit and visibility up to 100 feet or more - Rincon has become a world-class SCUBA diving destination.
Deep Sea Fishing in Rincon means billfish! You'll find great deep sea fishing all year - although the type of fish caught will depend on the season. In the winter months, Yellow Fin Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado, Mahi-Mahi, While Marlin and even Sailfish run in the deep waters of the Mona Passage. Blue Marlin arrive in the summer months on a 'catch and release' basis. Deep Sea Fishing charters have very limited space on each boat - so make sure you contact the charter boat prior to your visit to Rincon!
