Day 03 (Catalina Islands Dive)
Catalina Island is a quick 8 mile boat ride away from the Flamingo coast line in Guanacaste, about a 35 min boat bide from most scuba diving resorts. This volcanic rock formation along with almost 30 other great dive spots near it, provide a home to a large variety of underwater species. The Catalinas are famous for Giant Manta Rays, Bat Rays, Mobley, Spotted, Bull’s-eye and Stingrays as well as barracudas, white tip and tiger sharks, moray eels, sea turtles. December through April are considered to be the best months for diving, given that during this time period it is almost certain you will see schools of giant Mantas with wing spans of 12 ft to 20 ft swim by. You will find unique varieties of tropical fish found mainly in Costa Rica. Water temperature is usually in the mid 70s Fahrenheit and although visibility in the same spot may vary, it is usually 50 feet plus! Depending on the dive spot (Elephant, Mexican Hat etc..) we might not anchor and therefore must descend quickly and away from the rocks.

If you are not a certified diver ,we can arrange a training class on the day before the tour. You will do some theory and a pool section with one of our Instructors for about 3 hrs.
