Course Information
We saw everything from rays, puffers and sharks. It was such a memorable day!
The entire staff at Costa Rica Dive and Surf truly love what they do. I cannot thank all of you enough for making us all want to get certified!! Thank you, thank you!”
On the day of the dive the team was just as amazing as Mauricio. It was such a wonderful experience made perfect by a crew who was very kind and passionate about their work. I would highly recommend scuba diving in Costa Rica as we got to see sharks, marble rays, seahorses, and many other beautiful fish. I would especially recommend Costa Rica Dive and Surf for this experience!”
We had plenty of time to scuba, seeing sea turtles, tons of fish, shark, sting ray and even saw a group of whales jumping out of the water. The staff served a tasty snack and lunch as well. All in all it was a great day and highly recommend.”
About PADI Discover Scuba Diving Tour

First, one of our PADI instructors will give you a presentation covering the fundamental theory of diving.
Once you’re comfortable with the coursework, you’ll discover how easy it is to use scuba gear in a pool, always under the direct supervision of a PADI professional.
After mastering the skills and feeling confident breathing underwater, you’ll head to Caño Island for two incredible ocean dives.
Our Diving Pool
Our scuba diving pool, located on-site, provides the perfect environment for safe and comfortable learning. With official dimensions of 11 meters in length and two depths (1.5 meters and nearly 3 meters), it allows students to practice everything from basic skills to more advanced techniques, such as equalization.
Being on our main shop eliminates the need for additional travel, offering a more efficient and focused experience. Here, each student can learn at their own pace, with the peace of mind of being in a controlled, professional setting.

The variety of Costa Rican sea creatures that can be seen when you dive or snorkel here is truly breathtaking. Once you have completed all your classwork and confined dives, you will join your instructor for two dives at Caño Island.
The trip to Caño Island starts early in the morning and returns in the late afternoon. But is worth every minute, as you get to see the beautiful coastline on the way there and back, as well as the spectacular Costa Rica marine life once you dive beneath the waves.
