of Costa Rica can be simply described as spectacular. Costa Rica
Adventure Divers explores several sites around the small island of Caņo.
Protected as a biological reserve by the Costa Rican Government, the
water surrounding the island is extremely pristine and teeming with
life. Nine miles west of the Lodge, Caņo Island offers some of the most
exciting diving anywhere in the world. A wide variety of marine life can
be discovered beneath the
island waters. Perhaps the most memorable
encounters occur with the pelages that inhabit the area.
Porpoises, schools of rays and white tip reef sharks can be seen on many
dives. On almost every dive, large schools of fish swimming around and
overhead can be breathtaking. Sometimes the numbers are so great that
sunlight can actually be blocked by these large schools of fish,
creating an underwater eclipse. Although not as common, the elusive
whale shark and the shy hammerhead are often spotted in the area. Water
visibility
is good and can range from 45-90 feet. Temperatures hover in the upper
seventies to low eighties throughout the year and provide for an exquisite
diving experience.
