Course Information
We saw everything from rays, puffers and sharks. It was such a memorable day!
The entire staff at Costa Rica Dive and Surf truly love what they do. I cannot thank all of you enough for making us all want to get certified!! Thank you, thank you!”
On the day of the dive the team was just as amazing as Mauricio. It was such a wonderful experience made perfect by a crew who was very kind and passionate about their work. I would highly recommend scuba diving in Costa Rica as we got to see sharks, marble rays, seahorses, and many other beautiful fish. I would especially recommend Costa Rica Dive and Surf for this experience!”
We had plenty of time to scuba, seeing sea turtles, tons of fish, shark, sting ray and even saw a group of whales jumping out of the water. The staff served a tasty snack and lunch as well. All in all it was a great day and highly recommend.”

Home to over 70 species of fish, whales, dolphins, turtles and other fascinating underwater marine life, “La Reserva Biológica Isla del Caño”, is an underwater paradise.
Set far enough offshore that it sits within a huge Pacific Ocean current, amazing marine creatures from near and far live in or pass through the reserve during their seasonal migrations.
The variety of Costa Rican sea creatures that can be seen when you dive or snorkel here is truly breathtaking. Once you have completed all your classwork and confined dives, you will join your instructor for two dives at Caño Island.
The trip to Caño Island starts early in the morning and returns in the late afternoon. But is worth every minute, as you get to see the beautiful coastline on the way there and back, as well as the spectacular Costa Rica marine life once you dive beneath the waves. There is no better place to spark a love of scuba diving than Isla del Caño.
