Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a small country in Central America that connects the Pacific Ocean with the Caribbean Sea within 100 miles (160 km). The country attracts half a million tourists a year, mostly Americans. It is a crowdpuller for adventurous vacationists, like surfers, sports fishers and rafters. We obviously come here to dive.
The division of the two oceans is reflected in the diving possibilities in the country. The sites at the Pacific coast is characterized by the huge wealth of animal species. The sites at the Caribbean coast are special because of the wonderful reef formations. This east coast does not yet have such a good infrastructure for scuba divers as the more developed west coast.
