About diving in Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s signature diving is pelagic Pacific—deep pinnacles, sharks, and liveaboard life around a legendary offshore island.
Current, depth, and experience requirements filter who should book. When conditions align, the payoff is big-animal density and open-ocean energy unlike Caribbean Costa Rica.
Attracts experienced divers and underwater photographers who already enjoy liveaboard rhythms and are comfortable with advanced profiles. Jungle and eco-tourism on land make a strong pre- or post-dive contrast.
