Hello,
I have a business trip to San Juan in April, and I'd like to dive Parguera wall. (I dove Desecheo last year and it was amazing.) I have a meeting that lasts until 9 or 10pm on a Monday night and would like to dive Tues.
From what I understand, it's much more likely that I'll be able to dive the wall if I do the morning dives, rather than the afternoon dives. West Divers has its meet-up at 7:15 and the boat leaves at 7:30, so I'd want to get there by 7am at the latest.
How early will I need to leave San Juan (I'll be at the Caribe Hilton, near Old San Juan and Condado). How long of a drive is it? Mapquest says just under 2hrs., and West Divers told me on the phone 2.5 hrs. I'm planning on renting a car, am comfortable w/PR driving, and will have a GPS and driving directions from the dive shop to help guide me.
On a somewhat related note, has anyone stayed at La Parguera Guest House? Is it ok? I'm looking for one night of clean, convenient, budget lodging for one person. Any other recommendations welcome.
