HELLO FROM GUANICA,PUERTO RICO

[ScubaDogsPR]

Hello again, here with good news, you can always add more nights or dives, if you prefer.

7 nights double occupancy and 5 days of diving for 2 divers (10 two-tank dives total) for $3K? Plus tax?

For that fee I hope it includes plane fare....

 

[Green Frog]

That’s for TWO people, right? Cut that bill in half (per person) and it looks like a better deal. If I am correct and you can find a compatible diving partner…

That’s for TWO people, right?

That' what I'm trying to figure out. Copamarina is a decent, relatively expensive place, like $250+ per night per room. Their website is not showing any other dive packages other that the original (and somewhat nonsensical) 2/2/2 for $1K.
5 days of diving for 2 based on pricing in the area would be around $1100-1400 incl tax etc, 7 nights of Copamarina stay would be around $2K. So if $3K price is for 2 divers, with taxes and fees included - not a major deal, but it's an ok one. I'd call it a reasonable deal if they'd have breakfast included.
Scubadogs are located inside the resort, probably the reason for highest prices in the whole island.
We are planning to stay there Nov 24 - 29th, will update afterwards.

It says right on the poster that the prices quoted are for two guests. Bottom right quarter of image.

So is $3K the overall total to be paid for 2 divers? Any taxes or fees additional, like resort fee etc?

After comparing your prices - I think in order to be putting yourself in the same category as the dive resorts you mentioned you at least have to show up as a dive center on PADI Travel... You're placing your pricing at the upper 25% tier of well established places in Caribbean - but IMHO the price should reflect your lack of exposure to the world of scuba diving.

I haven't dove with Luichy, but he isn't wrong. Guanica area is some of the best wall diving I have seen. The life is amazing as it isn't a major tourist area like Cozumel.
The big drawback to the area is lack of infrastructure. You have to fly into San Juan, rent a car and drive to the complete opposite side of the island. It isn't horrible, but it isn't easy either.

@ScubaDog I haven't been down there in several years. Are Kiko and Cashi still operating in the area?

You can also fly into Ponce, PR in the South of the Island and just 1/2 hour away from Guanica.
