Scuba Diving in Marino Ballena

If you’re an adventurous soul who loves exploring the depths of the ocean, then a Marino Ballena Scuba Tour should be on your bucket list. Located in the beautiful country of Costa Rica, Marino Ballena is a marine national park known for its rich biodiversity and stunning underwater landscapes. Let yourself be taken on a diving journey through the wonders of Marino Ballena National Park.

Diving in Marino Ballena National Park

Marino Ballena is a marine national park situated in the Puntarenas province of Costa Rica. The park gets its name from the iconic rock formation that resembles a whale’s tail, visible during low tide. This unique geographical feature adds to the allure of the park and provides a stunning backdrop for scuba diving enthusiasts. The park covers approximately 110 hectares of land and 5,385 hectares of ocean, making it a haven for marine life. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant biodiversity, Marino Ballena offers an unforgettable experience for divers of all levels.

Diving in Marino Ballena presents a unique opportunity to witness an incredible array of marine life. From graceful sea turtles gliding through the water to playful dolphins dancing in the waves, every dive holds the potential for a memorable encounter. Keep your eyes peeled for reef sharks, stingrays, and an assortment of colorful reef fish that call this park their home. Apart from its incredible diving opportunities, Marino Ballena is also a popular destination for whale watching. During certain times of the year, humpback whales migrate to these waters to mate and give birth. Witnessing these majestic creatures breach the surface is a truly awe-inspiring experience that shouldn’t be missed.
