Best Diving in Costa Rica | 4K
Ever wondered what diving in Costa Rica is like ? Well the Pacific side offers unspoiled world class dive sites for beginner and advanced divers with spectacular marine life. Where else can you dive with Mantas, Bullsharks and see humpback whales and dolphins on the way to the dive site ?
Costa Rica has some of the best diving in the world. Coco Island is on the bucket list of every diver. But unknown to the larger public, the Pacific Coast has great unspoiled dive sites. The best sites are located around Playas Del Coco in Guanacaste. Our local dive sites offer a wide variety of marine life including eagle rays, devil rays, white tip reefs sharks, nurse sharks, pelagic schools of fish, many species of reef fish and for macro enthusiast there are nudibranchs, seahorses and harlequin shrimp. If that's not enough then we are also conveniently located for diving with Bullsharks around the Murcielago Archipelago (Bats Islands). And diving with Oceanic Mantas around the Catalinas Islands.
When to dive in Costa Rica ? Our location offers excellent year-round diving opportunities. Visibility changes from day to day so there is no better or worse season for visibility. Water temperature ranges from 23 – 28 Celsius throughout the year so a 3 - 5mm wetsuit is sufficient to keep you comfortably warm under water. Most dive sites are only 10 minutes away and accessible all year. Bullshark diving is from May - October and Manta diving from November till April.
In Costa Rica the seasons are divided between the rainy season (which runs from May to November) and the dry season (which runs November to April). But these seasons do not affect our diving conditions. So any time of the year is great to come diving with us !
Join Rich Coast Diving on an exhilarating underwater adventure as we explore the mesmerizing waters of Playas del Coco, Costa Rica, home to an abundance of marine wonders. In this captivating video, we plunge beneath the surface to discover the captivating world of eagle rays. Come and dive with us and experience an encounter with these magnificent creatures up close.

¿Alguna vez se preguntó cómo es el buceo en Costa Rica? Bueno, el lado del Pacífico ofrece sitios de buceo vírgenes de clase mundial para buzos principiantes y avanzados con una vida marina espectacular. ¿Dónde más puedes bucear con mantas, tiburones toro y ver ballenas jorobadas y delfines en el camino al sitio de buceo?
Costa Rica tiene algunos de los mejores lugares para bucear en el mundo. Coco Island está en la lista de deseos de todos los buceadores. Pero desconocido para el público en general, la costa del Pacífico tiene excelentes sitios de buceo vírgenes. Los mejores sitios se encuentran alrededor de Playas Del Coco en Guanacaste. Nuestros sitios de buceo locales ofrecen una amplia variedad de vida marina que incluye rayas águila, rayas diablo, tiburones de arrecife de punta blanca, tiburones nodriza, bancos de peces pelágicos, muchas especies de peces de arrecife y, para los entusiastas de la macro, hay nudibranquios, caballitos de mar y camarones arlequín. Si eso no es suficiente, también estamos convenientemente ubicados para bucear con Bullsharks alrededor del Archipiélago Murciélago (Islas Murciélagos). Y bucear con Mantas Oceánicas por las Islas Catalinas.
¿Cuándo bucear en Costa Rica? Nuestra ubicación ofrece excelentes oportunidades de buceo durante todo el año. La visibilidad cambia día a día, por lo que no hay mejor o peor temporada para la visibilidad. La temperatura del agua oscila entre 23 y 28 grados centígrados durante todo el año, por lo que un traje de neopreno de 3 a 5 mm es suficiente para mantenerte cómodamente abrigado bajo el agua. La mayoría de los sitios de buceo están a solo 10 minutos y son accesibles todo el año. El buceo Bullshark es de mayo a octubre y el buceo Manta de noviembre a abril.
En Costa Rica las estaciones se dividen entre la temporada de lluvias y la temporada seca. Pero estas estaciones no afectan nuestras condiciones de buceo. ¡Así que cualquier época del año es genial para venir a bucear con nosotros!

About Costa Rica
==============
The happiest country in the world; a paradise for peace and biodiversity; a green beacon for environmental stewardship—Costa Rica is a country of many accolades. But Costa Rica’s history and culture extend far beyond the reach of international recognition. The small Central American nation is home to incredible biodiversity and rich cultures, a passion for freedom, and a history of democracy, equality, and education for all.
Here you’ll find interesting info about Costa Rica’s culture, facts and some fun trivia. Want to know more? Check out our Travel Guide for cuisine, history, travel tips, traditions, and more.
Culture
=======
Costa Rican culture is a vibrant blend of indigenous heritage and Spanish colonial influence, with a dash of Jamaican, Chinese, and other immigrant cultures lending character and customs. The result is a nation of laid-back, friendly, and happy people. A nation whose official language is Spanish, but where large portions of the populations speak English, Bribri, creole Mekatelyu, and Mandarin Chinese as their first languages.
A nation proud to be without an army (Costa Ricans disbanded their armed forces in 1949). A nation with a long history of public services, including education and healthcare, available to all. A nation proud to share its cultural riches.
Facts About Costa Rica
==================
Simple statistics cannot do justice to Costa Rica’s friendly people, stunning terrain, rich lands, and long history. But the facts do paint a colorful picture of this Central American nation, where democracy has prevailed for more than 60 years, Catholicism is the state religion, the government is stable, and the environment is of great importance.
Quick Facts
Before you book your Costa Rica vacation, why not brush up on this handy list of facts?
Geography
===========
Costa Rica is around the same size as Lake Michigan, and slightly smaller than West Virginia.
The U.S. is roughly 181 times larger than Costa Rica.
Costa Rica has more than 800 miles of coastline.
The highest mountain in Costa Rica, Cerro Chirripo, stands at 3,810 meters above sea level.
Although not all of them are active, Costa Rica has around 200 volcanoes.
Costa Rica is home to approximately 5 percent of the world’s biodiversity, but only occupies around 0.3 percent of the planet’s surface.
Poas Volcano in central Costa Rica has the second-largest volcanic crater in the world.
History
========
Noted explorer Christopher Columbus first visited what is now Costa Rica in 1502.
Spanish colonists first established a permanent presence in Costa Rica in 1563.
After a short-lived civil war, Costa Rica’s constitution was passed in 1949.
Costa Rica hasn’t had a national army since 1948.
Costa Rica has one of the oldest democracies in Latin America, having avoided many of the political problems in the region in the 1970s and 1980s.
The People
===========
Costa Rica has a population of just under 5 million people—a little more than half the population of New York City.
Religion plays an important role in Costa Rica’s culture, with approximately 76 percent of Costa Ricans identifying as Catholic. In fact, Catholicism is the official religion and impacts laws including the prohibition on both abortion and the death penalty, as well as the requirement that students take religion classes.
Less than 1 percent of Costa Rica’s population is of indigenous ancestry, and around 94 percent of Costa Ricans have some of primarily European heritage.
Spanish is the official language of Costa Rica. However, immigration (both recent and early 20th century) has meant that English is spoken natively by many people on both coasts, particularly on the Caribbean side.
Costa Rica has a literacy rate of 97.8 percent, one of the highest in the world.
Famous Costa Ricans include a Nobel Peace Prize winner (Oscar Arias), an astronaut (Franklin Chang), and one of the best goalies in the world (Keylor Navas of Real Madrid).
Flora and Fauna
=============
There are more than 34,000 species of insects in Costa Rica, as well as more than 20,000 species of spider.
Costa Rica is home to more than ten percent of all the species of butterfly in the world.
Costa Rica has around 615 species of animal per 10,000 square miles. By comparison, the U.S. has 104.
Certain species of crocodile, many of which can be found in Costa Rica’s rivers, can measure up to 16 feet in length.

Fording Rio Claro
The Rio Claro is easy to ford in the dry season (shot in February) and the last obstacle before the end of the road at Playa San Josecito on the Osa Peninsula south of Drake Bay, Costa Rica. One of the best four wheel drives in the country ending on one of the very best beaches.
