Scuba Diving
The island of Cocos is well known in Costa Rica; it is famous for big fish and drift diving. Week-long diving trips are the best way to explore this gem, and this secluded spot should be number one on your places to explore if you are a diver.
Bajo Alcyone is one of the most famous dive sites and for good reason. An enchanting range of species is present, from all manner of rays, to sharks, turtles, barracuda and countless schools of brightly-coloured fish.
Volcanic activity created this island and the substantial reefs of Cocos are lush and healthy, and home to a myriad of smaller fish, which draw the big stuff ever closer.
If you would dive from the mainland, the area of Ocotal and coast of Guanacaste are home to huge groups of manta rays, with schools of 50 or more a common sight. Underwater locations for exploration are numerous; unspoiled reefs, caves and rocks providing natural habitat for plants, animals and fish.
Costa Rica is the perfect choice for people looking for exploration and multi-adventure holidays, set among stunning, seductive scenery.
