Scuba Diving & Snorkeling at Isla Del Caño

Along the Pacific coast, on the west side of the Osa Peninsula, is Drake’s Bay, a tiny community that has become one of the most popular places in Costa Rica for amateur/professional scuba diving/snorkeling. Caño Island is a protected biological preserve, 12 miles west of Drake’s, offering some of the most exciting diving in this country. A wide variety of marine life can be discovered beneath the island waters, including schools of rays and white tip reef sharks, as well as large schools of fish swimming around and overhead. Although not as common, the elusive whale shark and the shy hammerhead are often spotted in the area. Water visibility is good and can range from 45-90 feet. Temperature hovers in the upper 70’s to low 80’s throughout the year and provides for an exquisite diving experience. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, advanced diver, or just snorkeling, the variety of rich and abundant marine life will amaze you. There are a number of ways to get to Drake’s Bay; the easiest is by car (about 2.5 hours from Bosque del Cabo, max. 6 people, approximately $180 for the taxi ride). You can also go by plane (you can’t fly back after scuba dives, though) or by very long boat from Puerto Jimenez, prices and time of trip vary, please speak to the receptionist for further details/pricing. Certification card is needed for scuba; we need two days notice to arrange this tour.
