Scuba Diving Most Dangerous Island in Caribbean in 4K - Desecheo Island Off Rincón, Puerto Rico

After Old San Juan, we went scuba diving with Taino Divers at Desecheo Island - an old military island and nature preserve near Rincon, Puerto Rico. We dove the Candy Land and Aquarium reefs/dive sites and met up with Lola - the Tax Collector. There was mounds of coral and lots of fish. Even better than the diving in Culebra. We also give a little Lionfish education and why those fish will deplete a reef of all the fish in just days.

Anybody can dive Desecheo - you don't need a special permit, we do it all the time. Did Taino Divers tell you that lie? Also, the nurse shark is named Tony.

I went diving with Taino divers in 2004 and they brought me to see the two Pt boats and an underwater cave. I was living in SW Florida at the time and I kept my boat on Key Largo. The Florida Keys has a lot more fish but the coral reefs are in bad shape. This reef is still beautiful. Thanks for the video.

What a beautiful reef! Y’all are so brave to be diving where the sharks live though! Lol!
Those spikes look like they would hurt if you got stung by the lion fish! I’ve heard that they’re very poisonous!
Great video y’all!!

Looks like a great spot! Much appreciated. The weather kept us away when we were last in Rincón, but even the shore snorkeling was pretty good. Those lionfish are such a terribly invasive species. For the sake of all the other fish, they really need to be speared whenever possible. But I hear they're tasty!
