diving costa rica
Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater for recreation, commercial or industrial reasons.
Unlike early diving, which relied exclusively on air pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas (usually compressed air), allowing them greater freedom than with an air line.
Both surface supplied and scuba diving allow divers to stay underwater significantly longer than with breath-holding techniques as used in snorkelling and free-diving.
According to the purpose of the dive, a diver usually moves underwater by swimfins attached to the feet, but external propulsion can come from an underwater vehicle, or a sled pulled from the surface.
Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons, both personal and professional.
Most people begin though recreational diving, which is performed purely for enjoyment and has a number of distinct technical disciplines to increase interest underwater, such as cave diving, wreck diving, ice diving and deep diving.
Divers may be employed professionally to perform tasks underwater.
Most of these commercial divers are employed to perform tasks related to the running of a business involving deep water, including civil engineering tasks such as in oil exploration, underwater welding or offshore construction.
Commercial divers may also be employed to perform tasks specifically related to marine activities, such as naval diving, including the repair and inspection of boats and ships, salvage of wrecks or underwater fishing, like spear fishing.
Divers come to Costa Rica for the incredible variety of tropical marine life and the thrill of swimming with schools of big fish.
Costa Rica is becoming very popular for the people who enjoy the sport of scuba diving.
The visibility in these warm waters ranges from 20 to 80 feet! (6 to 24 meters)
The Caribbean coast offers spectacular coral reef with small animal species like starfish, lobsters and shrimp, and the Pacific is well known for the abundance of larger sea animals including giant manta rays, green sea turtles, colorful angel fish, sea slugs, spiny puffer fish, delicate sea fans, sharks, blue dolphins and whales.
We have included a good variety of scuba diving trips and tours for you to choose and enjoy!!
