Dive-site story
Set along the northwest coast of Puerto Rico in Aguadilla, Crashboat Pier centers around the extensive concrete and steel pilings of a disused military fuel dock. Divers navigate around heavily encrusted columns that act as an artificial reef, dropping onto sandy flats interspersed with seagrass patches. The structural layout provides shade and shelter, making it a reliable spot for macro photography and macro critters hiding along the encrusting sponges and tunicates.

Macro hunting opportunities around structural debris and bottom litter
Night diving potential with hunting octopuses, squid, and crustaceans
