| We have visited Puerto Rico four times. The first time was a port of call on a family cruise....so we did the touristy stuff and visited the old fort. Our other trips to Puerto Rico were to extend our stay before and after our family cruise. On our third trip, we hired a private guide through Shoretrips.com and took a trip to the rainforest During our last trip, the kids got certified in PADI diving. They started the paperwork course at home and completed the certification dives in Peurto Rico |

| Scuba Dogs Scuba Dogs was an awesome outfit for diving. Dad was already certified and his dream was to get the kids certified to have scuba buddies to share the love of diving and the adventures. The kids started their paperwork at home and completed their dives on the cruise. Scuba Dogs provided personal service and the smiles to make this a wonderful experience for everyone |
