Scuba diving on the southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica can be simply described as spectacular. Costa Rica Adventure Divers explores several sites around the small island of Caño . Protected as a biological reserve by the Costa Rican Government, the water surrounding the island is extremely pristine and teeming with life. Twelve miles (16km) west of Drake bay, Caño Island offers some of the most exciting diving anywhere in the world. A wide variety of marine life can be discovered beneath the island waters. Perhaps the most memorable encounters occur with the pelagics that inhabit the area. Schools of mobula rays (devil rays), turtles, and white tip reef sharks can be seen on many dives. On almost every dive, the large schools of fish swimming around and overhead can be breathtaking. Sometimes the numbers are so great that sunlight can actually be blocked by these large schools of fish, creating an underwater eclipse. Although not as common, the elusive whale shark is often spotted in the area. Water visibility is good and can range from 45-90 feet. Temperatures hover in the upper seventies to low eighties (24-27C) throughout the year and provide for an exquisite diving experience.

Our dive center carries only well serviced, name brand equipment from Sherwood, Mares, O'neill, as well as others. We are a certified pure air station. Our PADI instructors can teach courses ranging from basic open water to divemaster and can conduct many specialty courses of interest. All our dive rates can be found on our prices page.

Snorkeling is a great option for non divers. Many of the same fish seen by divers can be witnessed on a snorkeling tour. A professional guide will accompany you and your family and buoyancy vests are used for your safety. A picnic lunch in included on beautiful Cano Island.

During this experience you will have the chance to observe huge pods of dolphins, whales and other sea life in their natural aquatic environment. We often find ourselves surrounded by hundreds of dolphins, many times thousands of Pantropic Spotted Dolphins as they display amazing aerial behaviors such as jumping, spy hopping and leaping. We enjoy watching them as they jump, glide and play. These animals are all wild and free to come and go as they choose. We cannot guarantee interactions at any time however, due to the large amount of marine life in the area, odds of encountering dolphins and sometimes whales is very good. Lunch is served on the boat.
