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.

Where is our dive center located?

Our dive center is situated in the charming town of Uvita, nestled along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Just a short drive from the capital city of San José, Uvita serves as our home base. This idyllic location is also renowned for being the site of Central America’s first marine national park, Marino Ballena National Park. From Uvita, you’ll have convenient access to the enchanting Isla del Cano and the untamed beauty of Corcovado National Park. We hold the necessary permits to operate and conduct activities in these remarkable destinations.

What is a PADI Dive Center?

We take pride in being a PADI Accredited Diving Center, reflecting our commitment to providing exceptional services and training. This prestigious accreditation ensures that we maintain the highest standards of technical and logistical preparation. Meeting the rigorous requirements set by PADI to obtain the status of a Dive Center demonstrates our dedication to delivering quality services consistently.

How can I check the status of a dive center?

Being a PADI Accredited Dive Center provides assurance of excellent service and comprehensive technical support. The process of obtaining this status involves multiple steps that validate the delivery of high-quality services. However, it’s important to note that the PADI Dive Center status is granted for one year and requires annual renewal. This ensures a consistent level of service and reassures customers that they have made a reliable choice.

To verify the active status of a dive school, you can visit the official PADI website. There, you can find information regarding the current accreditation of the dive center you are considering. This transparency allows you to make an informed decision and have confidence in the quality and professionalism of the chosen dive school.

How do I check my dive instructor license?

When selecting a dive center, it is crucial to also consider the instructor’s license. Every diving instructor must possess a valid instructor’s license, which is subject to annual renewal. This requirement ensures not only the provision of high-quality training but also adherence to current industry standards. Just like dive center licenses, instructors possess varying levels of certification that enable them to teach courses of different complexities.

At Costa Rica Divers, we offer training across all levels, ranging from foundational courses to specialized ones like night diving, as well as professional certifications. We understand the significance of well-qualified instructors in delivering a safe and enriching diving experience. If you would like to learn more about verifying a dive instructor’s credentials, we have a comprehensive guide available to assist you. It provides detailed information on how to check an instructor’s certifications and qualifications.

About me

Ever since I discovered climbing and diving for myself, I knew it would be a never-ending adventure. That since there are so many interesting places above and below the water in the world, why not make it possible for everyone to see them. I have been a mountain climber and cave explorer most of my life and have had the honor of participating in many amazing exploration expeditions. I have been professionally involved in scuba diving and dive training for more than a dozen years now.

At Costa Rica Divers, I am the manager and chief instructor. We take great care of the quality of training, so I personally teach or supervise all dive courses. Dive and snorkel tours led by our guides and Divemasters are also directly coordinated by me. You are in good hands!
