Drake Divers

If you think Costa Rica is all beaches and rainforest, Drake Divers is here to change your mind. Based on the Osa Peninsula at Drake Bay, this PADI Resort centre opens the door to the underwater world of Isla del Caño, and it welcomes everyone — whether you're a seasoned diver or slipping on fins for the very first time.

Courses, sites and the life below

With three PADI Instructors on the team, Drake Divers runs PADI scuba diving and snorkelling, along with freediving and conservation activities. Ask about the courses and experiences that fit you. The waters around Isla del Caño teem with sharks, whales, turtles, rays, eels, ocean fish, molluscs and crustaceans — a genuinely rich cast of marine life.

The centre keeps things easy with an onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi and a dive boat, plus air fills and full equipment rental down to children's sizes. Staff speak English and Spanish, so you'll feel at home whichever side of the conversation you're on.
