About the Center

Dive Costa Rica, located in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, is a dive center with PADI, SSI, and TDI certifications. It offers a wide range of courses, from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water Diver to advanced levels like Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, and even the Instructor Development Course. They also provide courses for young divers and snorkeling options for those who wish to explore marine life from the surface. Their facilities include showers, lockers, a bar, accommodation, equipment rental, a dive shop, and air fills with nitrox. With the convenience of both boat and shore diving, Dive Costa Rica ensures an accessible experience for everyone. They also manage airport transfers for a hassle-free arrival.

The center is distinguished by its prime location within Punta Leona, being the closest dive center to the ocean in the region, just 1 hour and 30 minutes from San José and 25 minutes from Jacó. This proximity facilitates access to exceptional dive sites. They offer diving and snorkeling tours in both Punta Leona and the renowned Tortuga Island, taking advantage of the rich marine life of the Central Pacific, attracted by the volcanic rock formations of these locations.

Dive Costa Rica is also deeply committed to continuous education and marine conservation. For certified divers who need to refresh their skills, they offer a 'Refresher' course for those who haven't dived in over a year. Experienced divers can deepen their knowledge with Advanced Diver and Rescue Diver courses. Furthermore, the center actively participates in marine conservation projects, encouraging divers to join regenerative experiences to improve ocean health.

The Dive Costa Rica team is composed of passionate professionals, including PADI and SSI instructors, an SSI Dive Master Instructor, a Marine Biologist, and other qualified members, all dedicated to offering a safe and enriching diving experience. They speak Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian, ensuring seamless communication with an international clientele. Their facilities include accommodation options directly at the center, a bar, and an equipment shop.
