SCUBA DIVING IN
COSTA RICA
Costa Rica has a submarine paradise featuring a great variety of flora and fauna. The country offers 767 miles of coast line waiting to be discovered and appreciated. This little country offers a great variety of incredibly fascinating underwater life unknown to most of us. The Pacific coast offers the magnificent view of big marine animals in great quantities, while the Atlantic coast offers an abundance of life forms in and around its coral reefs.
Although diving is a recent sport in Costa Rica , the practice is spreading quickly through the country. The favourite exploration spots are coastal islands and underwater rock formations a few kilometers away from the beach. Some say half of the beauty of Costa Rica lies underwater.

Most of the diving schools and equipment suppliers are located on the Pacific coast. Isla del Coco is one of the most famous diving destinations in the world because of its richness in marine fauna, including more than 156 fish species. The spot became famous with Jacques Cousteau's visit in 1987. This island also has interest because of the unspoiled ecosystems that make it a living natural laboratory.
