Black Rock is located in the National Park of Santa Rosa. Part of Bat Island! After some dives at Big Scare we finish the day with a very nice dive at Black Rock. We are on the way Back for Potrero, approximately 45 Kilometers.

20 Minutes from Plays del Coco this is one of the favourite sites in the Gulf of Papagayo. An easy drift around the pinnacle takes about an hour and you will spot large schools of tropical fish, rays, and reef sharks.

Monkey head is a 15 minute boat ride from Playas del Coco. The dive site is part of a pinnacle that above water represents a monkey head, hence its name. Under water it is one of our favourite dive sites.

Punta Gorda is one of our further local dive sites. It’s name after the big rocky outcropping which it’s located next to. One of the more colorful place in the area.

Punta Escorpiones is located on a shallow ledge, with depths between 10m/30ft and 20m/70ft. The rocky features hide a ton of small critters, while the sandy area is a great spot to find some bigger life.

Sopresa is a pinnacle starting at around 16m/50ft depth and going down to 30m/100ft. Because there’s no shallow part in this dive site, only advanced divers can dive here. Sorpresa means surprise, which is explained if you dive here multiple times. The temperature and visibility are always a surprise.

Meros is a very shallow dive site, no deepers than 12m/40ft, great for photography. Not uncommon to see frog fish here. Great place for a relaxes second dive of the day.

Guacamaya is north of Flamingo and Potrero along the coast. Normally less than 20 minutes. It is an island that allows all levels, the depth being 5m deep in the East and almost 30m in the West. This small island is always full of fish. You can also practice snorkeling when the conditions allow it.

Playpen is a great dive site with interesting rock formations and marinelife. In the shallow areas we find a wide variety of schools of tropical fish and lots of invertebrates like octopus, arrow crabs, harlequin shrimp and seahorses. In the deeper area white tip reef sharks and a variety of rays can be found.

Arco Iris is located 8km north of Playa Potrero. Less than 20 minutes of navigation. North of Penahuaste or Brumel Island in English. A rock formation runs from the northwest face of the island in a northerly direction. There are many white tip reef sharks. 10 to 30 m/ 33 to 100ft.
