Water
Temperature:
Generally
a comfortable 78º - 84ºF (26º- 29ºC).
During the winter months of Dec-Mar, we do get some
cooler currents that flow through (as cool as 61ºF, 16ºC)
bringing the large pelagics such as humpback whales, pilot
whales, giant manta rays, whale sharks, and more.
Visibility:
It
changes daily but a good average is about 35 ft (11 m). No
matter what the visibility, the dive sites are packed with
marine life. The
best months for great visibility are June through September.
Bottom
Composition:
Nearly
all the diving done in this area is on volcanic rock formations
and pinnacles where you will find a wide variety of marine life.
Marine
Life:
Every
dive here is a deep blue diving adventure.
The rich waters of Costa Rica are teeming with eagle
rays, manta rays, turtles, white-tipped reef sharks, bull
sharks, enormous schools of grunts and jacks, and a wide variety
of tropical fish, moray eels, and invertebrates.
With all of the big stuff there is also a myriad of
little stuff to see - Christmas tree worms, fan worms,
nudibranchs, tunicates.
Coral
Life:
The
volcanic rock formations are host to a handsome assortment of
small hard corals, sponges and gorgonians.
White soft corals and yellow cupcake coral carpet many of
the pinnacles. Black
corals still thrive at several of the dive sites.
Dive

We
have more than 25 local dive sites from which to choose as well
as 9 sites at the Catalina Islands and 9 at the Murcielagos
