About Us

We invite you to enjoy our world of underwater adventure. Just offshore from Flamingo, the Catalina Islands are considered among the most attractive dive sites in Costa Rica. It is an area where divers often find themselves surrounded by large schools of colorful fish. When you dive the Catalinas, you may experience swimming with abundance of manta rays and stingrays.

The formations provide a spectacular variety of marine life from nudibranchs to sharks, with angel fish, jacks, snappers, grunts, octopus and eels in between.

There are several dive spots with depths ranging from 40 ft. to more than 100 ft. Visibility depends upon the levels of plankton and nutrients. It varies from 20 ft. to 100 ft., with an average of 45 ft. approximately.

Daily scheduled are morning and afternoon 2-tank boat dives. For the morning trip, the boat leaves the beach of the Flamingo Marina Hotel at 7:45 am, and for the afternoon trip, at 1:30 pm. After a 20 minute ride you have the opportunity to explore the first underwater site of the day. Afterwards, a surface interval followed by a second great dive, and then back to the hotel.

The beach next to our dive center provides an easy access to our boats, Fun Fisher II (37') and Aqualand (40'). Fully equipped with fresh water, radio, oxygen, and emergency equipment, the boats are operated by certified experienced friendly professionals.

Our retail facility has plenty of equipment for rent and dive gear and accessories for sale. A rinsing area with shower and lockers is also available.
