About Drake Bay
Drake Bay – also known as Bahia Drake – lies at the northern point of the Osa peninsula in the southwest of Costa Rica. The large part of this peninsula is made out of ecological reserves, under which National Park Corcovado. The most common way to reach Drake Bay is by boat. It will take you over the river from the town of Sierpe to Drake Bay. Another option is to take a ride in a Landrover from Puerto Jiménez. Most hotels in Drake are eco lodges where you can buy a package deal for several days.
Diving in Drake Bay
You can dive in Drake Bay, but now that you’re here it’s better to directly take the 13 mile trip to Caño island. According to Skin Diver Magazine, this is one of the best diving locations in the world, with an incredible variety of marine life: corals, large groups of white-tip sharks and dolphins, manta rays with a 17 foot wing span, barracuda’s and humpback whales. Because of the large distance to the mainland, visibility under water is excellent. Divers of all levels of proficiency can eat their hearts out here. The regulations state that only 10 divers can be under water at the same time.
