- Abstract
In this study we provide a historical account of the underwater explorations conducted at Cueva del Agua, Punta Los Ingleses, Mona Island, Puerto Rico. We also present data from our own recent explorations and document a new zoological record: the unidentified estuarine demersal gastropod, similar to Polinices sp. The previously reported spinycheek sleeper fish Eleotris cf. pisonis was updated to E. cf. perniger. These specimens were photographed in situ. So far, only the native crustacean, Macrobrachium faustinum, had been studied in that cave, and by a few specialists, due to the danger, fragility and possible endemism that could exist in this cave system.
