Diving in Costa Rica. Any suggestions?

[Ryffel]

Hello All,

I will be traveling to Costa Rica for two weeks in July. Can anyone recommend a good dive operation and/or any good dive spots? I would love to do Cocos, but that is too far. I did a search but didn't come up with much. I appreciate the help.

Thanks

I dove with Rich Coast diving last november and had a great time. They are under new ownership since I was there so I can't say for sure nothing has changed. If you search this board for Costa Rica you should find quite a bit of information. I'm planning another trip this fall and plan to dive with them again.

If your going to be in our area, Quepos/ Manuel Antonio, I'd like to invite you to dive with us. We are listed on this site or you can go to www.oceansunlimitedcr.com.

Playas del Coco is probably the best dive spot in Costa Rica.
I went to the Carribean, but found the Pacific site much better.
I dove with Rich Coast as well. Martin and Brenda are the new owners and I think they made a lot of improvements. They run a very well operation.
I went to Bat island and saw 16 bull sharks. The local dives are nice as well. (sharks, lots of rays, octopus and loads of fish)
I stayed with them for almost 2 weeks and had a great time!
