Islas Catalina Diving Tour
(for certified divers)
The Islas Catalinas dive tour starts at 6:50 a.m. at our dive center where we store the equipment. There, we took a few minutes to check the sizes and got on board (our boat
is moored in Tamarindo).
After 45 minutes of sailing, we’ll arrive at one of the most incredible and places for diving and snorkeling: the Islas Catalinas.
Here, we will have the opportunity to see lots of marine life such as turtles, rays, sharks, manta rays and much more!
After the first dive, we can relax in our boat, eat some snacks, fruits and drink some juice or water. During this time, the boat will take us to our next spot, where, 45
minutes later, we can go back in the water!
We’ll dive for the second time and then it will be time to come back. While we sail along, some of our marine friends like turtles, dolphins and whales may approach us! We’ll return to Tamarindo at 12 p.m.
