Scuba Diving on Isla del Caño

Join us to explore the depths of the Costa Rican reserve of the Isla del Caño with this scuba diving activity. We'll enjoy two dives and admire local flora and fauna.

Activity Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at calle hacia los Planes and after receiving a series of safety instructions, we'll set sail from Drake Bay to the nearby Isla del Caño. Once we reach the coastline of the island after a 40-minute sail, we'll prepare for our first dive with full diving gear. This dive will last about 45 minutes, exploring the marine life before returning to the boat to rest at the beach of Isla del Caño.

Ready for the second dive? For another 45 minutes, we'll continue our underwater adventure in the depths of the island, declared a Biological Reserve. We will observe various marine species, including parrot and surgeon fish, jacks, ojaranes, white tip reef sharks, turtles, snappers, and possibly manta rays depending on the season.

We'll then head to San Josecito beach for a picnic lunch overlooking the sea before making our way back to Drake Bay. The total duration of the activity is 7.5 hours.
