About this site
Patti's Reef sits off Vieques Island in Puerto Rico's Caribbean waters. A shallow coral garden teems with colorful fish, sea turtles, and occasional rays gliding over the vibrant reef. Gentle currents make it ideal for beginners, while the intricate coral formations offer plenty to explore. The sandy patches between coral heads reveal garden eels and small critters. Visibility often exceeds 60 feet, with warm water year-round. A relaxed dive perfect for photographers and those who love marine life encounters.
