Puerto Rico as well as for diving, which is a sport
that has become more popular in the last few years.

adventurous tourists arrive with the intention to
explore our fascinating shores and the marvels that
can be found hiding beneath the sea. Today we see
them going from place to place to practice
diving," added the press release"
