Enjoy unlimited fun dives, try your hand at reef spearfishing on our boat trips, and soak up the perfectly warm, tropical waters that stay +20°C all year round. At the end of the program and course you will achieve a 3:30 minute breath hold, swim 70m (230ft) in dynamic apnea and perform comfortable dives beyond 32m (105ft) depth.
Diving Costa Rica, you'll greet tropical fish, spinner dolphins, rays and reef sharks all year with seasonal whale species such as orcas, short-finned pilot and humpbacks! Tamarindo is also a mecca for surfers and blue water Sport Fishermen due to its deep, clear, thriving conditions. You'll enjoy wonderful wildlife, spectacular beaches, volcanoes, rainforests, lagoons and so much more including a short boat ride to Catalina Islands. If that's not enough, want to come and meet our sloths, toucans, monkeys and macaws?

You will have full access to our multimedia classroom, dedicated swimming pool and a buzzing community of Freedivers to learn and train with.
