location of the week
March 2009:
the Caribbean
Come with us March 7 - 14, 2009 to Eastern Puerto Rico (PR) and St. Croix and see what the Caribbean has to offer, all without leaving American waters.
Join us as the Nekton Rorqual departs from Fajardo, PR and travel to Vieques or "Isla Nena", Puerto Rico's little sister island. Vieques is a sleepy island just 7 miles east of the mainland of Puerto Rico. Christopher Columbus first sighted Vieques in 1493 and since then it has remained a jewel of these tropical waters.
can you be a diver?
Yes, you can! The idea of breathing while actually underneath the water can be a bit intimidating at first. But with a little nose for adventure and a few hours of training, most people in good health can become confident divers; safe and competent ready to explore the world beneath the water. Beginner programs start at age 10 and yet you're never too old.
