Almaco Tours

Almaco Tours brings PADI diving to Costa Rica's Guanacaste coast, and it does so on your terms — their boats can pick you up at any beach from Playa Ocotal to Peninsula Papagayo, taking in Coco, Hermosa, and Panama along the way. There's no need to travel to them; as they put it, they come to you.

Learning and diving with Almaco

With a PADI dive boat and three PADI instructors, the centre runs everything from PADI Scuba Diving and Freediving courses to snorkelling, with confined water sessions held in the comfort of your own rental villa or the nearest calm beachfront. Divers head out to the local site at Cacique, where sharks, whales, turtles and ocean fish move through the water.

Services cover air fills plus scuba and freediving equipment rental, and the team is active in conservation. With English and Spanish spoken, Almaco Tours suits travellers based anywhere along this stretch of coast who want flexible, come-to-you diving.
