Overview:Costa Rica is a small mountainous  country on the narrow Central American isthmus. The climate is idyllic. In the lowlands -  which are dry in the Pacific Northwest and humid elsewhere - daytime temperatures range in  the eighties to nineties. Located in the tropical latitudes, between the giant biological  influences of North and South America and borded by two oceans, mountainous Costa Rica  enjoys an immense diversity of climates and ecosystems.

Diving Info: The diving off Costa  Rica's northwest coast is on volcanic rock pinnacles. Typical dives start at about 40  feet, gradually going deeper as you move around the pinnacle, then back along the inland  side of the pinnacle. The entire dive normally has colorful Cortez and King Angelfish,  Pufferfish, Jewel and Pacific Moray Eels as well as 3 to 5 different types of Parrotfish  and occasional Sea Turtles. All of the local dives are within 45 minutes by boat from the  beach. At our long range dive sites, the Bat Islands and the Catalina Islands, we often  see Bull Sharks, schools of Mantas, and occasionally Whale Sharks!

Insider Info: When traveling do not  cheat yourself with time constraints. This country offers many opportunities to explore  active volcanoes, river rafting, rain forest trekking, cable swing through the rain forest  canopy, and the fine dining and shopping, within the capital San Jose.
