]]>I trained with Course Director, Georgia King, and received top class scuba training. She was patient, professional, and a really great teacher. The rest of the staff at the shop are friendly and helpful and I especially liked the resident dog, Damien.
The attention to detail was fantastic – they are really safety conscious (which is always reassuring), the dive briefings were thorough and humorous, they have a brand new high speed dive boat (great for those of us that get a little seasick), well maintained scuba equipment, the tastiest pineapple ever for the surface interval… and they even had 2 Marine Biologists ready to answer any questions I had about what I saw under the surface!
I spent a while in Costa Rica this summer, and despite the rainy season reducing the viz I still managed some great dives while I was in Quepos / Manuel Antonio.
The divemasters found us sharks, turtles and eels and tonnes of fish. A great experience was when we saw a pod of dolphins on the surface interval. The captain took us a little closer to see a baby dolphin trying to make leaps out the water!!

]]>On your down time you will be kicking back in the lap of luxury in a pimped out surf pad. It all about Location, Location, Location ! Walking distance to one of my favorite surf breaks in the world, Playa Negra! Just a short drive to many other world class surfing spots! Very close to Tamarindo and Liberia Airport but accessable only by dirt roads! If you’ve never experienced the “Old Costa Rica” you really should.

]]>Beginners are of course welcome, and the advanced surfers will be in their element.
Come and hang ten in these waters and chill in the luxurious pimped up surf pad in between surf sessions.
The community surrounding our location in Playa Negra de los pargos, is like going back in a time machine. You get to experience life, as it was, before any real outside development & influence. The lands surrounding our location are still ”virgin” & undisturbed.
It is still customary to see real cowboys, wild horses, cattle traffic jams, wild bull fights, wild monkeys, toucans & more. An experience that makes your stay with us unique.
A Costa Rican cultural experience that is becoming rare-if not extinct . The activity schedule is numerous, zip lining the canopy, ATV tours, whitewater rafting, hike the rain forest, visit the volcanos, all with incredible wildlife. Then there is the surf….beginner or advanced, secluded beaches await, or take a boat trip to places that are completely inaccessible by land.
