The diving off
Costa Rica's northwest coast is on volcanic rock pinnacles. Most of these
formations are at 40-90 foot depths. Typical dives start at about 40 feet,
gradually going deeper as we move around the pinnacle, then back along the
inland side of the pinnacle. The entire dive normally has colorful Cortez and
King Angelfish, Pufferfish, Jewel and Pacific Moray Eels as well as 3 to 5
different types of Parrotfish and occasional Sea Turtles. As we get down to
about 50-60 feet, we often come into huge schools of Jacks, Grunts, Mackerel or
Spadefish. This is the depth where we tend to see the most Manta Rays, Bat Rays,
Eagle Rays, and White-tipped Sharks.
All of the local dives are within 45 minutes by boat from the beach. At our long
range dive sites, the Bat Islands and the Catalina
Islands, we often see Bull Sharks, schools
of mantas, and occasionally Whale Sharks!
We dive over 30 local sites, of which all of our dive
masters/instructors are very familiar with. Our knowledge of the area
(above and below the water) will add to your safe and enjoyable diving
experience in Costa Rica!
