Accessible all year, SCUBA in the Catalina Islands is some of the best diving in Costa Rica. You can catch a boat from Playa Flamingo, and you’ll be under the waves, spotting the Pacific Giant Mantas that live around the islands, along with plenty of other aquatic wildlife. Eels, schools of fish, and even sharks like to frequent the area.
If you’re not keen on diving but still want to see all that’s hidden beneath the surface, a snorkeling trip is a great choice, and the guides in the area can pinpoint the perfect places to see all kinds of sea life. Pair it with a sunset sail, and you’ll have a day filled with eye candy.
