Dive Review of

Costa Rica/Guanacaste

Caymans, Belize, Bonaire, Bahamas

Dive Conditions

80 feet maximum depth, total time 45 minutes  

They were very accomodating  

Overall Rating

The diving was great, lots of big critters, sharks, turtles, etc. Also,
good macro opportunities including sea horses, harlequin shrimp,
nudibranch, slugs, etc. The food at El Ocotal was excellent. The operation
was very safe and organized. All expectations and requests, including a
night dive and Nitrox, were met. Not so last year with Diving Safaris/Bill
Beards and El Ocotal Dive Resort far outperformed Diving Safaris/Playa
Hermosa. At El Ocotal,one boat had a bit of an exhaust smell. The boats (3)
were safe, fast and gave a good ride. The crew made sure we stayed hydrated
and kept all divers together, nobody was lost. A variety of fruit, cookies,
cold drinks were available and plentiful. We stayed in the older rooms down
on the beach. While older, they are in good shape, really close to the
beach, pool and dive shop. There is a real feeling of community in this
dive resort and we spent much time talking to other Americans who were
there diving, made new friends. We plan to return next year.
