Caño Island Biological Reserve · from Uvita
Guided dives at Caño Island, one of the clearest marine reserves on Costa Rica's Pacific coast: reef sharks, schools of jacks, rays and sea turtles.
Caño Island is a protected biological reserve off the Osa Peninsula. Its rocky reefs attract big schools of fish and the animals that follow them.
Certified dive guides with local knowledge of Caño Island's currents and marine life choose the sites for the day's conditions.
Personal attention underwater, and time to enjoy each dive instead of following a crowd.
Dive equipment, snorkel kit and safety gear, with dive computers, a first-aid kit and oxygen on board.
On the boat ride we stop for whales, dolphins and anything else that shows up, and lunch and drinks are on board.
“The dives at Caño Island were spectacular: great visibility and so many species, turtles, reef sharks, moray eels, tropical fish, corals. Dive Master Allen was top. 100% recommended.”
