Costa Rica Divers

First of all, welcome to Costa Rica! Our dive center invites you for an amazing (and not only underwater) adventure. We created this dive school out of passion for diving and sharing knowledge, but most of all out of love for the underwater world of Costa Rica.

Our instructors have years of diving and training experience gained around the world. We know how to transfer knowledge and make diving in Costa Rica more enjoyable. We invite you to take advantage of our offer, and if you have any questions, please contact our team.

Costa Rica Divers Team

We are proud to say that we are a PADI accredited diving center. This means not only high quality services and training, but also appropriate technical and logistical preparation. In order to obtain the status of a PADI dive center, it is necessary to meet a number of strict conditions and provide services at the required level at all times. If you are thinking about choosing the right place for your scuba diving course, then PADI dive centers will be the right choice.

What is a dive resort?

Not everyone can meet the requirements for an accredited dive center, and their capabilities are limited for various reasons. Then they can apply for a lower status, which is called a dive resort. What implications does this have for you as a customer? Let me give you an example – a small neighborhood store is nice, but when you want to do complete shopping, you prefer a well-equipped place.

How can I check the status of a dive center?

A PADI accredited dive center is a guarantee of a high level of service and adequate technical support. Obtaining status is a multi-step process that requires proof of high quality service. However, PADI dive center status is only granted for one year and we have to renew our license every year. This is to maintain a consistent level and reassure customers that they have made the right choice. You can check on the PADI website to see if the dive school of your choice has renewed status and what level it is.

How do I check my dive instructor license?

Another important issue is the instructor’s license. Every instructor who wants to conduct diving courses must have an instructor’s license, which must be renewed every year. This ensures not only that the training is of high quality, but also that we are up to date with industry standards. Similar to dive center licenses, instructors also have different levels of certification to teach different levels of courses. At Costa Rica Divers we train at all levels, from basic courses, through specialty courses such as night diving, to the professional PADI Divemaster level.
