Why Puerto Rico?
Rincón, Puerto Rico sits on the western tip of the island where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet — creating exceptional visibility, warm water temperatures (82–84°F in summer), and a diversity of marine life that makes every dive memorable. For participants who completed cold-water training at Virginia Beach in January, Rincón is the reward.

Several past participants have returned to active competitive adaptive sports following the Puerto Rico trip specifically.
