My girlfriend and I are planning a 2 week holidays in Central America in february 2024, with our favourite being Costa Rica. It won't be a diving trip but we would like to squeeze in a day or two of diving while we are there. I just completed my OWD in Malta and logged 8 dives so far, my girlfriend already has her Advanced Diver certificate and around 25 dives.
I've been reading about different dive sites here on the board, but I have the impression most would require being able to dive deeper than the 18m I'm certified for and having more experience. How is the situation in February? Are the dive spots in the northwest (Guanacaste, from Playa de Coco) in season then? Are the dive sites suitable for me as "just" an Open Water Diver? Would it even make sense to have a look at diving Bat or Catalina Islands? Or are we better of down south around Uvita and Isla del Caño?
I'm thankful for all your insights!
