The Visibility was only marginial. Surge was present on every dive. White tip sharks was plentiful. Saw one Manta. Saw a few turtles. Saw a number of eagle rays. lots of small tropicals. Great treatment by the dive company, had fresh fruit and cookies on all dives. For those who wanted it they set up your gear. Had fresh water to rinse with and plenty of it. Camera rinse tank not large enough but once again plenty of fresh wate. boat was slow (gasoline outboards). I did extra dive and the price was reasonable. Overall the trip was put together by Bill Beard's Costa Rica and provided canopy tours, rapelling, white water rafting in addition to the diving so good for a group. Food was ok nothing to brag about. Natives were great and very appreciative. Over all give the trip a 4 on a scale of 1-5 |
