Diving in Caribbean of Costa Rica                                                                          





You can spend many hours of fun while diving in Costa Rica's Caribbean.  It is important to not overlook the need for conservation. 

Not all Costa Rica dive shops respect this to the degree it should be.  One that you can rely on for conservation teaching is Sean Larkin's operations both in the Caribbean and the Osa Peninsula


Please take note  How to save the reefs

Stop touching and kicking them. Do not give your money to dive shops that touch reef or hunt on Scuba.  Seems simple but the fact is all the dive sites at Caņo Island Biological Reserve, a forest and marine conservation area 12 nautical miles or 22 kilometers, offshore of Drake Bay, Osa peninsula, are heavily damaged by scuba divers.  The same is true for the ridiculously over used dive sites in front of Punta Uva, the most diver damaged sites on Costa Rica's Caribbean.

There are still too many dive guides who not only fail to prevent their clients from touching and damaging coral but carelessly set a bad example themselves.

When you shop for your dive shop, ask them if they will assure that all guides will take great care with the marine life that grows on the bottom. Report careless guides who allow touching directly to the guards at the ranger stations and to the administrator and owner of the dive operation and your hotel.  Also there are reports that one dive shop on the Talamanca coast hunts with Scuba inside the National Wildlife Refuge.  If you see your dive guide, anywhere in Costa Rica hunt or take lobster on SCUBA, demand your money back, report them to local hotels and authorities and tell the story on the internet.  Hunting while free diving, the only sustainable form of dive hunting, is legal outside of protected areas.
