Dive Center located very close to Marino Ballena Park and San José.
Our location is unbeatable. Situated just 200 meters from Marino Ballena National Park, our dive center offers secure parking, showers, and a safe place for your belongings. Being just steps from the beach means easy departures, and if you forget something, we can have it delivered to the boat in just a few minutes.
Small Groups
To provide a safer and more enjoyable experience, we limit our dive groups to a maximum of six divers per instructor and ten snorkelers per guide. Thanks to our fleet of boats, we can often organize groups based on experience level, allowing beginners and experienced divers to enjoy activities better suited to their skills. As one of the region’s larger dive operations, we have the staff, boats, and resources to provide a more personalized service while ensuring every guest receives the attention they deserve.
The best diving equipment in the Uvita area
We have top-quality diving equipment from the MARES brand. Most of the equipment was recently acquired.
We strictly follow the cleaning and disinfection procedures of all diving equipment against the spread of infectious diseases according to guidelines specifically developed for our industry.
High-quality compressed air diving tanks
The quality of the air that will fill your lungs during almost two hours of diving is vital.
At CRDS
At Costa Rica Dive and Surf, all of our scuba cylinders are filled with high-quality filtered air. We also offer Nitrox fills using a modern membrane system, providing safe, reliable, and consistent enriched air blends for certified divers.
Safety during the trip to Isla del Caño
Isla del Caño is located 52 kilometers from the coast, and during the rainy season, it is common to encounter small storms and swells.
Venturing out in a small boat to Isla del Caño can take up to 2 hours and be risky.
Our main boat for traveling to Isla del Caño measures 34 feet and is equipped with two 250-horsepower engines.
This allows us to travel to Isla del Caño in just 45 minutes and with total safety and stability.
The quality and maintenance of the engines are very important when it comes to safety. Our engines receive constant maintenance from the Suzuki agency with which we maintain a close business relationship.
Each boat maintains radio communication at all times, as we have our transmission tower. Each vessel traveling to Isla del Caño is also equipped with a GPS system that allows us to know its exact location in real-time from our offices.
Diving experts with excellent customer service
The size of our boat allows for practicing the necessary social distancing measures for safe diving.
All personnel at the Diving Center are professional and well-trained. We have experienced and certified captains who will safely take us to Isla del Caño.
Our tour guides and diving instructors are licensed by the ICT. Each of them has completed thousands of dives and experiences at Isla del Caño.
We are particularly proud to have two shark specialist biologists as part of our instructor staff. This will allow you to learn, enjoy, and share the vision of scientists on board.
It has been 18 years since our first dives on the coasts of Uvita, Bahía Ballena, and Isla del Caño. So we have a lot of information to share with you about these incredible areas.
