English (Translate this text in English): Desecheo is a small, uninhabited island off the west coast of Puerto Rico — about 12 miles west from Rincon. It’s a small island, only about 0.6 square miles of total land mass. Due to its isolated location, not too many people get to visit the area, and the reefs around the island remain in excellent shape — full of life and color. The water visibility is always good, over 100 ft. During winter months, you may hear the humpback whales or may see them.
