Town-center base. Offshore rock and reef days.

Make it your own

Match cert level to the listing (advanced sites vs gentler reefs). Confirm whether the trip is boat dive, number of tanks, and rental gear on the partner page. Dry-season clarity is a planning hint—not a wildlife guarantee.

Before you go

Visit Costa Rica highlights Papagayo and El Coco among Guanacaste coastal centers with access via Liberia (LIR). Treat named sites (Catalinas, Bat Islands) as editorial geography when listings support them—never invent exclusive shop contracts. Book via Viator/GYG; operators set conditions calls.
