Scuba Diving Packages to Costa Rica
Diving in Costa Rica is very different from the usual Caribbean reef dive. The visibility is lower and the waters are colder. The poor visibility is due to the higher quantity of plankton than in waters from Caribbean Sea. However, this is also a huge advantage because the plankton attracts larger marine animals like whales, that can be seen frequently there!
Numerous large marine animals such as giant sea turtles, stingrays, white sharks, and whales are present in waters of Costa Rica, so this country offers very interesting moments spent in the aquatic world. Perhaps the water isn't crystal-clear, but in Costa Rica the marine life is very rich and varied. Vacation packages are very convenient, being significantly lower than in other diving resorts of the world.
