 Diving
in the northern
Pacific region is the best. Few rivers and more sun year
round making this the best water in Costa Rica. Dives are along
offshore islands typical of the volcanic Costa Rican shoreline.
Scattered small reefs made of volcanic rock and soft corals dot
a dark sandy floor. Night diving is excellent and average visibility
in this area is 20-80 feet. The breaking waves on-shore do not make
this area ideal for snorkeling. In Manuel Antonio National Park,
snorkeling is possible in the calm, clear waters where the waves
break on rocks far from the shore.
Included in
your stay at lodges near Corcovado National Park on the Osa
Peninsula is a half day trip to Cano Island. A half
hour boat trip will take you to clear water for snorkeling and
diving to holes and walls. Expect deep dives with limited bottom
time and variable currents. Advanced diving. Large marine creatures
are often seen.
