DIVING

Aquacenter Diving belongs to a group of companies founded in the late 80's, and dedicated entirely to the diving business.
Now in Costa Rica, AQUACENTER DIVING retails and operates as a full service Resort Dive Center with regularly scheduled trips, dive packages, introductory courses, and a complete line of certification training programs.

The scuba center is located in Guanacaste, close to the beach, next to the Flamingo Beach Resort and just minutes away from guest accommodations. As a dive operator of an international dive destination, we provide dive quality, qualified staff, convenient diving and excellent customer service. Our team invites you to have the dive vacation you deserve with warm weather, incredible marine life, and spectacular adventure activities.
Aquacenter Diving is a PADI Resort Dive Operator with the option to offer SSI and NAUI certification courses. 
We invite you to enjoy our world of underwater adventure. Just offshore from Flamingo, the Catalina Islands are considered among the most attractive dive sites in Costa Rica.
It is an area where divers often find themselves surrounded by large schools of colorful fish. When you dive the Catalinas, you may experience swimming with abundance of manta rays and stingrays.
The formations provide a spectacular variety of marine life from nudibranchs to sharks, with angel fish, jacks, snappers, grunts, octopus and eels in between. 
There are several dive spots with depths ranging from 40 ft. to more than 100 ft. Visibility depends upon the levels of plankton and nutrients. It varies from 20 ft. to 100 ft., with an average of 45 ft. approximately.
DIVE SET UP
Daily scheduled are morning and afternoon 2-tank boat dives. For the morning trip, the boat leaves the Flamingo Beach Resort at 7:45 am, and for the afternoon trip, at 1:45 pm. After a 20 minute ride you have the opportunity to explore the first underwater site of the day. Afterwards, a surface interval followed by a second great dive, and then back to the hotel. Night dives are also available. As evening falls, the ride to the dive site lets you relax and witness the breathtaking Pacific sunset. Then, get a different perspective of the underwater marine life. These dives are excellent for photography or just enjoyable diving.
The dock in front of our center provides an easy access to both of our boats, Aquapro (28') and Fun Fisher II (37'). Fully equipped with fresh water, radio, sonar, GPS, oxygen, and emergency equipment, the boats are operated by certified experienced friendly professionals. Our retail facility has plenty of equipment for rent and dive gear and accessories for sale. A rinsing area with showers and lockers are also available.
TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
A training classroom provides the basis for certification programs, advanced programs, specialty courses, refresher courses, leadership courses and kids activities.
Our teaching professionals will take you to one of the pools and make your learning experience easy and fun. Then, your First Dive … SPECTACULAR ! ! !
