1 and 2 tank dives and snorkeling in Ca'o Island National Reserve and Ballena Marine National Park. The Ca'o Island National Reserve protects an important marine environment (2700 marine hectares) that is inhabited by a large number of plants, corals and animals. The clear waters are home to many species of fish, invertebrate animals, algae and mammals like dolphins and whales. Ca'o Island is just a one-hour boat ride where divers can observe various underwater environments from coral reefs to the rocky coast. You can dive at three different sites around the island.

Ballena Marine National Park provides a perfect habitat for all kinds of marine animals and plants. Within its borders you'll find rock formations, small islands like "Isla Ballena" and the three sisters (Las Tres Hermanas) and coral reefs. Dolphins are often spotted and migrating whales can be seen in February and March. Tons of microorganisms from the Terraba River flow into the sea supplying food for many species of fish and their predators.

Note: All dive packages require a minimum of four people. All dives are weather permitting.
