SCUBA diving on the Caribbean coast?

[daboss06]

Hello all,
Can somebody please tell me from experience if there is any SCUBA diving on Costa Rica’s Caribbean Sea coast? And if so,
are there reefs? Any operators with a compressor and dive boats? I have been diving on the Pacific coast, would like to check out the Carribbean side, thanks!

There used to be a decent reef at the park in Cahuita – but haven’t returned there in years. You would be better off going to the islands off Belize, or especially Glover’s Reef. As a whole, Carib reefs are inferior to Pacific ones.

There is a dive shop in Punta Uva a small hamlet south of Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean. I have heard the diving is spectacular! Good-luck

When I was in Puerto Viejo in late October there was a sign for teaching to dive.

I spoke with the guy and he can take you out or teach you.
