What to expect on our Snorkeling Trips.
This private snorkeling trip usually begins around 8:30, however every client is different, so we defiantly like to discuss what time works best for everyone. Upon meeting at the boat ramp we all go over any safety details and orient everyone with the snorkeling gear, safety precedures, and the vessel. From there we have very short runs to the many reefs on the west coast of Puerto Rico. This trip is designed for single familys and small grouper up to 6 people. Your party will untimatally have the say on what type of reef you would like to see, how many sites to visit, and even the type of music to listen to during the boat ride. We supply all the snorkel equipment needed and proudly offer state of the art masks, fins, and snorkels. These brands include Scuba Pro, Cressi, Mares, and Hollis. Simply caught can also supply some spearfishing equipment if needed. Our trips generally last for 5 hours but longer excursions are availbe too. The private boat tour supplies drinks and snacks, generally fresh fruit, but feel free to bring anydrinks you like and lunch.
Coral Reefs and Tropical Fish you could see in Puerto Rico.
The island of Puerto Rico has a pelethora of Snorkeling opportunities. Simply Caught generally operates on the west coast of the island. On this side of the island the Tourmaline reef, Abrir La Sierra, and Descheo Island all offer great opportunites to snorkel with only a 30 minute boat ride. Along the coast Steps beach is a local favorite, which is a natural preserve allowing the fish and corral to grow to a healthy population. Just to the south of Steps there are spanish cannons in about 23 foot of water that are also a fun site to visit. When the wind blows, Simply Caught has the ability to trailer the boat therefor allowing us to access three different facing coastline. This allows us to find calm clear waters on any given day. Snorkeling on the Norhern coast offers plenty of corral with steep cliffs and big rocks to explore. Shacks Beach is a great starting point on the North coast, whichalso has a very unique blue hole. Snorkeling the Souther coast of Puerto Rico offers great grass flats, channels and mangroves to see. Here it is very common to see Manatees. No matter where we choose it will be a good time.
Residing in the Carribean, Puerto Rico has an abundace of reef fish, turtles, and many other ocean dweling creatures.

Snorkelers often see jacks, Parrotfish, Barracudas, Angel Fish, Trumpet Fish, Queen Triggerfish, Tarpon, Angelfish, Moray eels, Blue Tangs, and much more. You will just have to come to see what else….
