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, one of Costa Rica's premier diving paradises.

Once we reach the coastline of the island after a 40-minute sail, we'll prepare for our first dive by putting on our full diving gear. We'll enjoy this first part of the dive, exploring the marine life for about 45 minutes. Afterwards, we'll return to the boat to go in search of the beach of the Isla del Caño to stop and rest before continuing.

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, where we'll discover a great variety of marine species such as parrot and surgeon fish, jacks, ojaranes, white tip reef sharks, turtles, snappers and, depending on the season, we might spot manta rays.

Lastly, we'll head to San Josecito beach for a picnic lunch overlooking the sea—well deserved!

Finally, we'll make our way back to Drake Bay, where we'll say goodbye after 7.5 hours of activity.

How It Works?

We'll start our day by gathering at the designated meeting point. After some essential safety instructions, we will board the boat and head towards Isla del Caño. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes. The first dive lasts around 45 minutes, followed by a break on the beach for relaxation. The second dive will also last 45 minutes, allowing you to explore the vibrant marine life found in this Biological Reserve.
