Comments  
Carlos Bejares, the owner/divemaster at Casa del Mar dive shop is one of
the most experienced and helpful persons it has been my pleasure to dive
with. There are no restrictions for advanced divers and the sites he chose
were excellent, even though they were quite a ways from his facility in
Fajardo, P.R. Sail Rock and the Shoal wrech in St. Thomas are sites worth
returning to, speciallu with this dive operator.
