25 YEARS CARING FOR MORE THAN 100 X 35

Scuba Dogs Swim & Diving School Celebrates Unprecedented Achievements on its 25th Anniversary

Guaynabo— October 1, 2025 — Puerto Rico is much more than 100 X 35. It is an archipelago composed of 6 main islands and more than 140 cays and islets. It has more than 1,200 registered beaches along its coasts and small islands. It is surrounded by about 40 reef systems around the entire island. It has a diverse marine life that combines coral reefs, mangroves, grasslands, coastal lagoons and ocean waters teeming with flora and fauna. Valuable underwater ecosystems abound such as caves, walls, shipwrecks, canals, and nearly endless formations that reach thousands of feet deep.

Scuba Dogs, being an aquatic school certified as a PADI 5-Star Dive & Aquatic Center, knows this very well and has been caring, educating and enhancing our marine resources for 25 years. 25 years teaching swimming, diving and water safety to the people of Puerto Rico. 25 years running the only SCUBA diving camp for children. 25 years safely providing experiences to locals, the hotel industry and cruise lines. 25 years improving quality of life with AquaFit and Aquarobics aquatic exercise programs. 25 years collecting the “Trash Fish” to keep our beaches clean and healthy. 25 years transforming public spaces into tourist destinations such as the Escambrón Marine Park and the GuánicAmazing reefs in Copamarina. 25 years dedicated to caring, educating and treasuring our marine riches that extend much more than just 100 X 35.

“It’s been 25 years of tears, blood, and sweat,” shared founding owner Alberto E. Martí Ruiz. “We feel honored and very proud to grow to three stores and create a national environmental conservation movement that has benefited all of Puerto Rico,” added Alberto. Founder and owner Elsa Martí highlighted the challenges faced and overcome in these 25 years. “We faced the attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11, hurricanes, earthquakes, national bankruptcy, a global pandemic, and even the government collapse with Ricky Renuncia,” stated Elsa.

That’s why today we celebrate our 25-year anniversary in the water by giving away valuable prizes through the fun “Get Your Tail Wet with Scuba Dogs” contest.
