Cano Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

I dove with Costa Rica Dive and Surf, which left from their office in Uvita. The dive equipment was in great shape and they had multiple dive masters with us. The Cano Island dive it a sandy bottom, easy, 60 foot dive, with light to medium currents. I didn't see a ton of great stuff, but this school of fish was worth it in itself. 

The trip includes two dives, an island trip, snacks, lunch, all your equipment rentals, etc. $175 per person for the day. Expensive, but supposed to be one of the best dive sites in CR, so worth it if you're in the area.

Jose the concierge was the only redeeming factor, and the deck. The house is really old and run down, smelled like really bad disinfectant, the bathroom was the source of that smell, but the worst part was the amount of noise from trucks and motorcycles going by my window - 3:45AM and then from 5AM ...
