Caño Island Scuba Tour

The best diving destination in Costa Rica!

Overview

Costa Rica Dive and Surf’s Caño Island Scuba Diving Tour is your ticket to spectacular dive sites widely praised as some of the best scuba diving in the world, not just the best Costa Rica scuba diving.

The Caño Island Biological Reserve is a veritable wonderland of marine life, replete with vibrant coral and stunning aquatic creatures.. Daily tours meets at 7 am at our Uvita dive shop and returns between 2:00-3:00 pm

Just 32 miles offshore of Uvita Beach and positioned squarely within a massive current of the Pacific Ocean, Isla del Caño draws a diverse population of migratory creatures, such as whales and turtles, to its adjacent environs as well as hosting over 70 indigenous species within its borders.

The colorful and majestic living-reef system surrounding the Caño Island is replete with marine organisms, including multiple types of Shellfish, Sponges, Mollusks, Arthropods, Fish, Marine Reptiles and Sea Mammals.

Common, Bottlenose and Spotted Dolphins are regularly seen, as well as White Tip and Reef Sharks. Eagle Rays, Giant Manta Rays and Moray Eels are also regular sights on many of our dives.

If you’re really lucky you might see a Whale Shark or a Humpback Whale. These animals, while rare, have been spotted during some of our Caño Island Scuba Diving Tours during whale-watching season.

Once we arrive at the island, two dives will be performed at different locations. Locations are chosen depending on conditions at the island and the guidance of our knowledgeable Captain and Divemaster.

The quantity and sheer diversity of the Costa Rica Marine Life you will encounter on an Isla del Caño Scuba Diving Tour is so truly oustanding.

We always operate with small groups, keeping your Caño Island Scuba Tour friendly, intimate and safe. If you’re looking for the best Costa Rica scuba diving available, Isla del Caño is where you will find it!
