Costa Rica Divers

Welcome to our diving blog

At Costa Rica Divers, we’re primarily divers. We do it for the love of the ocean and its inhabitants. We like to share knowledge on topics close to us and on which we have something to say. Due to the fact that we live in Costa Rica, we know the specifics of diving in the tropics, but this does not mean that our experience ends there. Diving in cold water, in the side mount configuration, or cave diving are our passions. We invite you to read our blog and take advantage of our experience. We also encourage you to like our Facebook profile, where interesting things often happen!
