Had a great trip to Cano Island Reserve with Costa Rica Divers. Two dives and a visit to the island allowed me to see first hand the beauty of our oceans.

Great dive center! Peter is a really good instructor, our group completed the dives for our certificates with him. I had 8 dives with Peter and his crew at Caño Island. Highly recommended!

Nico Netzer

We completed our open water certification with Piotr and it was such a great experience! He’s very knowledgeable and made the course fun. We will definitely come back to dive with him again.

Costa Rica Padi Center

It is worth noting that we do not charge any hidden fees and our prices are always final and include everything you need.

This is why snorkeling is a great way to spend time with your family.

Is it safe to snorkel in Costa Rica?

As with any sport, snorkeling should be done with basic safety precautions. Do not enter the water alone, and it is best to wear a life jacket when snorkeling.
