Snorkeling at La Parguera, PR

Aunt Ginny and I went snorkeling with Paradise Scuba in La Parguera, Puerto Rico, yesterday afternoon. We went with a group of about 20 people, mainly 20-somethings, many of whom had never snorkeled before. Stepping on the boat, it was obvious that it was not Coast Guard inspected, In fact, I never did see a life jacket. I wondered why they only started one engine, then watched later when they got into a situation requiring both engines, how a crew member reached into the engine compartment with a rusty hand file and jumped the starter solenoid to bring a sick engine to partial life. As you can tell, I am not recommending this outfit to anyone. The snorkeling was fun, but definitely not as visually entertaining as we experienced at Steps Beach in Rincon, PR.
