Travel Adventure

 Scuba diving and snorkelling ? The seas around Costa Rica are perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling as they offer a wide range of marine life and corals to see. To the east you can dive in the Caribbean Sea and see its incredible array of brightly coloured fish, including the hammerhead shark, white tip shark, turtles and the beautiful but deadly angelfish. To the west lies the North Pacific Ocean and its unique volcanic structures and an equally impressive array of sealife. And then there''s the impressive Coco Island, a world renowned dive spot famous for its calm water and excellent dives.


Surfing ? Given that the country is flanked by two surfable expanses of water, the Caribbean Sea and North Pacific Ocean, it''s no surprise that surfing is incredibly popular in Costa Rica. The geographical makeup of Costa Rica means that its beaches frequently have offshore winds and the water surrounding it usually provides good swell. The beaches have the usual surf equipment hire shops and surf schools for beginners wanting to ride the waves or intermediates wanting to improve their technique.
