There is plenty to do on, in, or under the water in Vieques. The
diving is excellent almost everywhere visibility-wise, unless there
is storm surf, then it depends which side of the island you're on.
Right in Esperanza there is always something to see underwater, and
a good place to start is under the old Sugar Pier. You'll find folks
to take you out snorkeling, rent you gear and/or kayaks. There are
companies to take you on SCUBA or Snorkel tours to
offshore or otherwise inaccessible areas. One of these SCUBA/Snorkel Tour
companies in Vieques is
Nan-Sea Charters.
Also recently added is Vieques Charters Inc. a snorkeling tour
company.
The bioluminescent bay in Vieques
is of our biggest
single attractions. You can kayak on Bio-Bay at night with
Blue Caribe
Kayaks and a few other tour operators. An alternative is
to travel to Bio-bay by electric boat. All these companies have been given permits by D.R.N.
(Departmento Recursos Naturales) to take people on the Bay. See
our Bio-Bay page for info on the bay and best times to see it.
The proprietors of
Black Beard
Sports in Isabel Segunda are certified P.A.D.I. SCUBA

camping and mountain biking gear.
Finally, you can find snorkel gear
