The three major diving areas in Costa Rica are Cocos Island, which is for experts only, the Pacific and the Caribbean, which is good for beginners. On the Pacific side, offshore islands defined by their underwater pinnacles, such as Cocos Island and the Bat and Catalina Islands in Guanacaste, offer up alluring shark and manta ray encounters. The Pacific coastline is also known for pelagic life. From humpback whales to manta rays, this coast is proper to all diving levels. Finally, the Caribbean coast, where you’ll locate vivacious reefs packed with sea life, has not yet been fully mapped by divers.
