    Diving on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica...

    I am wondering if diving on the pacific coast of Costa Rica, Catalina and Bat Island are worth it..?

    I still don't know between San Andrès and Costa Rica...the only trip I've done so far was in Cozumel..

    thanks for your opinions and suggestions...

    If it is a question of which, Catalinas especially if you are use to the calm Coz experience. Bat Island is incredible as well but if you are shark shy I suggest you rethink your option. It is the best place to see schools of Bull Sharks in that region.

    As for the question of is it worth it to go there, the Pacific in that region offers you tropical as well as LARGE ocean traveling critters. It isn't the Caribbean. It is a nice challenge for new divers.

    Remains one of my all time favourite dives - swimming in the middle of a school of mantas as they circled in and out of visability.

    I had 4 above me and actually touched one gentle. It was so close, couldn't resist. I'm usually a hands-off critter lover.
