Any thoughts on the precruise PR plan?

Our cruise leaves at 11 pm on Sun. I was hoping to some diving on Sat in PR--was planning to drive out to the La Pargauera (sp?), dive, be done by 2 ish then see a bit of the Rio Camuy Caverns then back to SJ for late dinner. Anyone that kinda knows the area--is that too much stuff in one day (I know it takes awhile to get around and it'll be a 2.5 hour drive from SJ to the dive)?

 

Then Sun morning, see El Yunque then board.

 

Does that sound doable or like a lot?

Also, is it pointless to schedule a dive trip b/c of TS Jeanne (supposed to hit PR Wed or Thurs?)?

That should be dive site Desecho Island departing Rincon, not La Pargauera. So diving Desecho Island in the morning done about 2 pm then to Rio Camuy Caves and back to San Juan.

I don't think you're giving yourself enough time to travel from Rincon to the Caves.

Have you checked the hours of operation for the Caves?

 

If you leave Rincon around 2-2:30, it'll be about an hour to the caves, (the roads are winding) so that leaves you very little time for the tour.

 

I think you should check on this. Good luck!

Thanks ajilimojil --I've changed plans to go diving from La Parguera instead, which will be done around 1:00 and then just we'll just see what there's time for after lunch!
