I recently took a dive course at the Diveschool in Costa Rica and I want to praise and recommend this trip.

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!!
