Features, Equipment and Sightings >>

The best scuba diving, snorkeling, and rainforest adventure in Costa Rica can be found with Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge and Costa Rica Adventure Divers. Where the scenery is as untamed below the water as it is above!

Scuba dive among some of the most abundant marine life anywhere in the world. 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. Nine miles west of the Lodge, 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 pelages that inhabit the area.

Porpoises, schools of rays and white tip reef sharks can be seen on many dives. On almost every dive, 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 and the shy hammerhead are 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 throughout the year and provide for an exquisite diving experience.

Our dive center carries only well service, name brand equipment from Sherwood, US Divers, as well as other top brands. Our PADI certified instructor can teach courses ranging from basic open water to dive master and can conduct any specialty course of interest.
