Been there about 9 times. The canopy tour is much fun but to dive Costa Rica you must get to the Cocos Islands to do it right.-Steve

Canopy Tour - I hope noone in your group is afraid of heights. Rios Tropicales is a great outfit to do that with, hopefully that is who you are booked with. Bookings from Swiss Travel go to them.

I just moved back to the US from Costa Rica, living right down the street from the Flamingo Resort. (did my "step-salsation" there with my buddies)

I have some lovely suggestions for dinner and sites. I'm sure you have already booked with your company..although I have some advice on that having dived with most of them.

The Catalinas are a lovely dive spot, easily accessable. In August you will be very likely to experience the beginning migration of the humpback whales. As you are breathing hold your breath for a second to eliminate your noise and you will hear them singing. It is magical. Schools of various rays are also extremely common at the Catalinas with large groups of cow noes rays topping 200 + speeding by! The mantas don't usually start popping up until closer to December but you never know.

I saw the largest scorpion fish I have ever seen there, HUGE! The morays are pretty plentiful as well. The channel at Catalina Grande is your white tip spot and Dos Sombreros is like a fairy land.

Have a great time and if you guys ever need a cheap tour guide give drop me a note! My fins are drying out and my gills seem to have converted back to boring lungs.
