These white-tip reef sharks, a very common species here, are just the beginning of an endless discovery of marine life when you go below the surface of the north-eastern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica!

When you visit the dive sites of Playas del Coco, the most popular and yet undiscovered dive destination in Costa Rica, you'll first be impressed by the big ones: Sharks, Sting-rays, Spottet eagle-rays, Turtles are just the most commonly sighted species. Whale-Sharks are occasionaly cruising by, Manta-Rays inhabit the Catalina Islands from November to March and Bull-Sharks can been seen at the Bat-Islands from April to September. Everywhere, he huge schools of jacks, grunts and other schooling fish are sometimes so dense, you can't see your buddy anymore, even if you really stick together! And when you can't imagine anything more, you might be enchanted by the migrating and resident whales and dolphins!

As you take a closer look on the rocky reefs and coral, you will be amazed to see how packed they are with creatures like crabs and shrimps, fantastic nudibranches, colourfull reef fishes, moray-eels and even sea-horses and the incredible frogfish!
