Highlights
- Islas Santa Catalina - We offer daily tours of 2 dives, from Monday to Sunday. Our star destination for the diving tour are the Catalinas Islands and North Island, rock formations of volcanic origin, some 40 minutes away from the coast. The tour starts at 7.30 am in our dive center, located in Flamingo, where you will fill out the paperwork and the equipment will be tested. The tour will end around noon.
The water temperature in the north coast of the Costa Rican Pacific ranges between 16-30°C / 60-86°F according to the time of year. Visibility can vary almost daily.
The rocky bottom of our coasts is the perfect home for a wide variety of marine life, some species of which are seasonal in this area (giant manta rays or humpback whales). White tip sharks, different types of rays, moray eels, nudibranchs, angelfish, butterfly fish, as well as large schools of colorful tropical fish are often observed.
Each of our dives usually lasts a maximum of 40 minutes at 18 meters depth (60 feet).

Exactly what I was looking for - Vivà and the whole team were terrific. The so dives were both great, we saw wildlife at Catalina islands including eels, white top reef sharks, and long tail sting rays. Most importantly, the team was very dedicated to safety. Highly recommend for a flawless experience

Well run dive operation - Good crew , they ran a safe and efficient diving day trip. Also , I watched the DSD discovery dive orientation and it was the most thorough and proficient instruction I’ve ever seen for the first timers . Very safe.

Amazing days diving with this team - Had a really great couple of dives with these guys. The whole crew worked hard to make it a memorable experience. Everyone involved was excellent but special mention to our guide Sebastian who not only took amazing photos, but really looked after us on the dives. Can’t praise him enough, he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend.

A great day on and in the water with the team at Pacific Coast Dive Center! - Pacific Coast Diving Center was terrific from booking the trip to answering my questions along the way. Day of dive went great. Sebastian did a phenomenal job at the pool getting us comfortable with the equipment and preparing us for the dives. Once on the boat Jose was there to not only help us with getting equipment situated but in making us all feel comfortable and even lightened the mood when some anticipatory tensions began to set in. A great day on the water with great service at each step. I think it’s quite an obligation for these dive guides to lead us new to the sport people into and under the water for 45 minutes + twice! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Great day with family! - My family and I went out with Gabi and Saba for an amazing day. They were very attentive to each diver and took a ton of photos. They pointed out a lot of marine life including rays, white tip sharks, and large schools of fish. The company overall was extremely well organized and provided us with high quality well maintained equipment. We will definitely dive with them again.
