Costa Rica Dive and Surf

Costa Rica Dive and Surf is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort based in Uvita on Costa Rica's southern coast, with 16 years of experience and a team of 10 PADI instructors. It stands out as one of the region's most established operators — and the only one in the area running its own fleet of four boats, built specifically for diving to keep every outing safe and comfortable.

The centre pioneered trips to Isla del Caño and the Parque Nacional Marino Ballena, and dives explore sites including Paradise, The Lighthouse, Isla del Caño and The Arch. Underwater, divers may encounter sharks, whales, turtles, rays and plenty of ocean fish. The signature Full-Day Dive Trip runs from USD 225 over approximately one day.

On land you'll find free Wi-Fi, parking, food and drinks, air fills, and equipment sales and rental — including kids' sizes. With staff speaking English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, it suits both newcomers and returning divers looking for a well-run day on the water.
