Playa Crashboat is an excellent diving site. It is located on Route 107 in Aguadilla. Offering easy shore entry and exits, it is a must dive for all levels of divers. There are four piers above the water and one sunken. Originally, Navy boats docked there to be ready to rescue downed airplanes from the former Ramey Air Force Base. Max. depth around the piers is 35 feet. There is a vast amount of marine life on the piling of the piers. Often you find a lobster or two under the sunken pier. Turtles and seahorses linger around the pilings. The sandy bottom is home to gobies and queen conch.
For the technical diver, a sunken buoy sits at 120' feet of water. Local divers have marked with lines routes to points of interest such as the "tires" and the sunken buoy.
Puerto Rico Technical Diving Center offers guided shore dives to Playa Crashboat (and other local dive sites) during the day or night for a reasonable fee. Experienced divers may want to rent equipment and do a self-guided tour. PRTDC will give a complimentary briefing to its customers upon request about the conditions and route.

I have been diving over all of the Caribbean and have at last settled on St Eustatius (Statia). I has everything a diver could want and the folks are nice. The population of the island is under 3000, so there is little tourist trade and is passed by the cruise ships. I have been diving since 1964 and this will have to rate as probably the top. I expect to be going here until I get too old to dive.

Abaco Dive Adventures -- Tim Higgs, NAUI Instructor and Commercial Diver.
I ran into Tim shortly after moving to Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas in late August 2006. Due to the pressures of getting myself acclimated and "in the groove" with my work, I did not dive for some time. When I began to dive with Tim, I discovered one of the most knowledgeable and friendly Dive operators I have encountered in over 30 years of diving and instruction. I am also a Naui instructor, and while my Bahamaian work permit does not allow me to teach, I can strongly recommend Tim to anyone who wants any level of instruction.
We dove December 22, 2006 on both The Tunnel, a shallow, 15 to 20 foot reef and a bit later that morning on The Edge, a 65 foot reef dive. WOW! The shallow dive was one that was teeming with life. Yellow Tail Snapper, small Grouper, French Grunt, medium sized Parrot fish, Blue Chromis, several varieties of Damsel fish, several variety of Wrasse, Lobster (which the Bahamians usually call Crawfish), and Conch. It was a great, gentle dive with many swim-thrus and a memorial plaque set for a young man killed in a motorcycle crash, whose favorite dive was this site. This is an excellent place to take a first dive and see a great diversity of small and medium sea life, get used to the water after not diving for a while and just relax and get your groove. Slight current present along with some surge, it is shallow and we dove at the beginning of and exiting tide.
The Edge was a much different story. We planned to dive with a half gallon plastic juice jug filled with pieces of a Wahoo carcass that Tim had caught days earlier. The fish was chopped small and then filled with water making a sort of chum. The bighead of the Wahoo was tossed overboard to begin attracting fish as we prepared to dive. I was first in the water and settled down on the sand between coral heads at 20 feet to wait for the others. The Wahoo head was in a difficult place for the Yellow tail and small Nassau grouper (5 to 10 pounds) to reach, so I picked it up, and tossed it out in the open. As it settled toward the bottom a 70 pound plus Black Grouper came from nowhere, scooped it up and swallowed it. By then some other divers were down and quickly a 4 1/2 Gray Reef Shark showed up to cruise around. When we were all assembled, Tim led us over the edge and we settled in a nice sandy area at 60 feet where he unscrewed the bottle lid and began to squirt out some small pieces of fish. Soon, the Grouper were nosing our hands, I was able to handle and stroke the sides of one big guy who was about 40 pounds and that Shark kept crusing around us. He came within 2 feet of me, calmly swimming and watching. We kept the feeding under control and while the Groupers got a bit worked up, the Shark never got too crazy. This 50 minute dive was just delightful.
You also might consider diving the Blue Holes with Tim. These deep, inland holes are fascinating for their geographical and geological formations. I have only dove The Far Side, but it was spectacular. I no longer like extremely deep dives (getting older -- ha!) but we went 140 feet of the 230 feet possible in this hole. Lots of fossils in the walls. Just be skilled enough to do decompression diving and let Tim or someone with the experience lead you.
I recommend Tim and his operation anytime. And if you need a dive buddy while out here, drop me a note. I am always ready.

An amazing dive site close to shore just 5 minutes out from Nelsons Dockyard in English Harbour. Teaming with marine life and an abundance of lively coral, this reef is seldom visited by dive shops, except Dockyard Divers. Suitable for all levels you can dive it from 40 to 80 ft. In my opinion one of the best dive sites Antigua has to offer. A trully world class dive site.

My wife and I have been diving on Little Cayman since 1989. We've dived throughout the Caribbean and also two trips to the Bligh Water in Fiji. I can't imagine a more dramatic wall dive anywhere, at least in the western hemisphere. Bloody Bay Wall crests in water less that 20 feet deep, then goes vertical to 2000 feet deep. It's like floating along the walls of the Grand Canyon, with deep ravines and undercuts, and marine life of all forms just teeming on the wall and on the colorful coral gardens on top. There are enough swim-throughs, arches, and other formations to keep anyone in awe. As great as the wall is for wide-angle photography, I've taken some great macro shots here too.
A site that has to be seen to believe!

The SS Stavronikita is the wreck of a 365ft Greek freighter which ran in to trouble off the coast of Barbados in 1976. The ship caught fire and was severely damaged. It was towed into the port of Bridgetown where she sat for almost two years.
In 1978 The Greek Government disowned her, so the Barbados government decided to deploy the ship as an artificial reef in the calm tranquil waters of the west coast, just off of Fitts Village in the Parish of St James. The shipwreck lies bolt upright with her bow facing East and the prop is at 40m/130ft. The top of the mast is at 6m/20ft. The house and main deck are to be found at 24m/80ft. The huge forward and aft cargo holds, and the cabins, stairways and engine rooms can be penetrated. This dive is rated as one of the best wreck dives in the Caribbean. Hightide Watersports visit this site approx 3 times a week.

Archipielago Los Roques is a National Park protected since ~ 1972. The biodiversity there is amaizing and the clarity of the water is equal or better compared with the most known places around the world. You have all the facilities to practice scuba diving, snorkelling and specially to make the underwater photography the most interesting challenge. A perfect place for wide-angle and macro UW photography and also for who are interested in fish photography.
I highly recommend this site for all kind of diving activities, the people is very friendly and almost everybody can speak in english. You have PADI and SSI diving centers and a lot of little hotel (2 stars) just to rest after the diving activities. Is a national Park and the facilities are not resort-like (5 stars).
If you want to check the kind of picture that you can get there, try to acquire the Book :"PECES del Archipielago Los Roques" in Spanish and written by Humberto Ramirez Nahim (UW Photographer) and Fernando Cervigon. Agencia Espanola de Cooperacion Internacional.
Best Regards & enjoy your next visit

This is the house reef for the Sunset Waters Beach Resort. The resort is very nice with excellent service.
The reef is easily accessible from a man-made lagoon and so well marked that it is a cinch to navigate day or night. You needn't stay at the resort to dive here. If you are a shore diver (like me), follow the sign to "Airplane Wreck" (adjacent site) and rent your taks at Sunset Divers (on the premises).
Seahorses and frogfish are common on the reef. Inqure at the dive shop about the latest sightings. They keep informed and will happily direct you to the latest sightings.

Also Dos Pesones is a killer dive to around 95 feet, it means two nipples.
Rincon is a funky little surfer town with a number of American expats. It is on the West coast & about 2.5 hours from San Juan.
Mona Island is another option in the Summer, it is about 40 miles off Rincon. This is a multi-day diving/camping trip. Highly recommended but you gotta be able to rough it.
