Comments	This shop specializes in shore diving in the Rincon area. Although you can easily dive without a guide in this area, it is recommended that you use one at least initially to show you good entry points and how to find the reef. Rincon Scuba & Snorkeling has excellent guides that are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Depending on where you go, you can expect up to a 15-minute swim to get to the reef from shore. There are also locations with reef very close to shore. The amount of coral and sea life is somewhat below average compared to other locations on the island and throughout the Caribbean but still very nice and enjoyable. The reef was very clean with no signs of trash, or other discarded items that don't belong on the bottom. Even with a long swim the diving is easy with minimal current or surge experienced. Visibility was 30-40 ft. February water temperature was a consistent 80 degrees from surface down to 85+ ft. I highlight this time of the year was hearing the whales communicating from much further offshore.

UW Photo Comments	My experience with videography here was from shore diving. When diving with Rincon Scuba and Snorkel they have a nice rinse area for cleaning gear after diving with different tubs including some dedicated for clean water suitable for rinsing camera gear.
