We visited Puerto Rico over the Christmas to New Year's week in 2008 and again in 2009. Both trips were primarily for scuba diving; 2008 in St. Croix off the east coast of Puerto Rico and 2009 in the Mona Passage off the west coast of Puerto Rico.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a self-governing unincorporated territory of the United States. It is located between the Domincan Republic in the Greater Antilles and the U. S. Virgin Islands in the Lesser Antilles, about 1000 miles (1600 km) southest of Miami. It consists of the main island and numerous smaller islands, including Vieques, Culebra, and Mona.
