Tour Description

Coming to Costa Rica on vacation and looking to try something new? How about a Discover Scuba Diving Resort Course in Tamarindo? Whether it is your first time diving, or it has been a long time and you need a refresher, a PADI Discover Scuba Diving Course lets you experience the thrill of scuba diving under the close supervision of a PADI Instructor. Once you have completed the resort course, you are free to book more scuba diving trips with our dive shop in Tamarindo during your entire vacation in Costa Rica.

PADI Confined Water Diving Course - Pool Session at the Dive Shop in Flamingo Beach

Upon arrival at the dive shop in Flamingo Beach, you will meet your instructor and fill out a medical questionnaire required by PADI. Then your scuba instructor will spend a little time with you above water and explain the basic principles of scuba diving and the scuba gear you will be using. Once you are all geared up, we will head to a pool to practice your newly learned skills in shallow water. During your pool session, you'll master some basic concepts and diving skills necessary to dive in the open water.

Discover Scuba Diving Catalina Islands Costa Rica

Once you feel comfortable enough with the basics, we will join the rest of the certified divers' group on a boat trip to the Catalina Islands. Our Discover Scuba course includes 2 boat dives at around 40 minutes of bottom time each depending how well you manager your breathing. Your instructor will first accompany you on a short dive to depths up to 40 feet (12 meters) where your Costa Rica scuba diving experience really begins!! Be on the lookout for sea turtles, giant manta rays, eels, octopus, hundreds of tropical fish and maybe even a white tip shark!! Your second dive will be to the next best diving location in Tamarindo based on the weather conditions. Not to worry, our PADI dive instructors will guide you safely through Costa Rica's underwater paradise. Want to know more about diving Catalina Islands?
