Puerto Rico - Top 10 Dive Sites. Mons Island it's a 50-mile ride to reach this remote spot, where the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea unite. Outside of live-aboard boats, land-based operators make only rare, special trips to dive sites here, but it's well worth it. With the variety of caves, hard and soft corals, the plethora of big animals, from sharks to humpback whales and high-voltage currents, it's like diving the Galapagos Islands, but in warmer waters.

We dare you to tell us the huge, funky-shaped coral mounds don't look like the ones you remember from the Candyland game. There are a kaleidoscope of colors on this must-see reef, embodied in gigantic sea fans, lettuce corals and sponges . There are also crazy amounts of tropical fish, adding to the already surrealist vibe here. The maximum depth is about 80 feet.

Fallen Rock (La Parguera), although it's about a 45-minute trip out of La Parguera, it's one of the area's most sought after dive sites. There's a V-shaped notch in a wall, with a bus-shaped, coral-covered boulder that broke off and formed a pinnacle, with sharp drop-offs and a dramatic descent. It's a deep dive, with the top of the reef at 65 feet, and dropping well past 100. Clusters of chromis abound, with Caesar grunts, schoolmasters and Spanish hawkfish. This is also a spot with great chances to see open-water animals, such as ocean triggerfish, and pelagics, like mackerels, jacks, barracuda and spotted eagle rays.
