1 day package Dive & Stay (2-Tank Dives)

ChrisDiving offers a compelling 3-day 'Dive & Stay' package, ideal for certified divers eager to explore Costa Rica's vibrant underwater ecosystems. This package is structured around three days of diving, featuring two-tank dives each day, totaling six dives. These excursions are led by experienced SSI instructors, guiding participants to renowned sites like the Catalina Islands and other local spots. The dives are designed to showcase the rich marine biodiversity of the Pacific coast, with opportunities to encounter reef sharks, rays, turtles, and diverse schools of fish in varied underwater topography. The package is priced at $170 USD per diver per day, with a minimum of two divers required, and a surcharge for solo divers.

The waters around the Catalina Islands offer a dynamic diving experience. While specific visibility data isn't provided, the sea temperature averages a consistent 31.1°C, making for comfortable dives throughout the year. The climate data indicates that while January through March are drier months with air temperatures around 28-29°C, the period from April to November sees significantly higher rainfall, peaking in November with 567 mm. This suggests that diving conditions can vary, but the warm sea temperature remains a constant draw for marine life.

Complementing the diving, the package includes three nights of accommodation at the Horizon Lodge. This lodge provides modern, air-conditioned apartments situated conveniently close to both the dive center and the beach, offering pleasant ocean views and a tranquil environment for relaxation after diving. The daily schedule typically involves morning dives, returning in the early afternoon, leaving evenings free for guests to unwind. ChrisDiving also offers flexibility to add extra nights or dives at an additional cost, allowing for a more personalized dive holiday.

This 'Dive & Stay' package is an excellent option for divers looking to maximize their bottom time and immerse themselves in the rich marine biodiversity of Costa Rica's Pacific coast within a short break. It balances extensive diving with comfortable, convenient lodging, making it a well-rounded choice for a dive holiday. The SSI certification framework ensures professional guidance and safety standards throughout the diving activities, allowing participants to focus on enjoying the incredible underwater world.
