Mona Island - Puerto Rico


Loading...
Located between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. Requires a live aboard to dive this area, but it is so worth it!!

Known as Puerto Rico’s own Galapagos, Mona is an uninhabited island about 50 miles off the coast of Mayagüez. Home to a veritable kingdom of iguana, seabirds and turtles, the island has even more to offer below the surface. Over 270 species of fish can be found here. In addition, dolphins, sharks, and - for a special treat during the winter months - humpback whales with their young can be spotted. Want more? Mona has a diverse underwater geography, from caves, reefs, and walls. All in all, it’s one of the more exciting dive experiences in Puerto Rico.
