What To Expect
The Gulf of Papagayo area has more than 20 dive sites all near the shore (around 10-20 minutes). Many schooling fish, small critters, sea horses, and sharks can be found around the dive sites. Certified divers will enjoy two dives. First dive is generally to a max depth of 80 feet and the second dive is 20-60 ft depth. Between the dives, divers will be treated to fresh pineapple, cookies and water on the surface interval.
