Punta Uva Dive Center

Whether you do a PADI scuba diving course with us, exploring dives, or a snorkeling adventure, your day will be unforgettable. Punta Uva Dive Center is set up in where for many is the most beautiful beach on the Caribbean coast. Rated as one of the Top 5 Beaches in the world by Travel & Leisure Magazine. Our Beach Front Dive Shop is a few barefoot steps away from the turquoise warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. Our two-story house is an ideal spot for underwater & nature lovers. Amidst the green rainforest, the only sounds you will hear are those of the sea, birds and howler monkeys. The plethora of life found here is just amazing. You will easily spot sloths, monkeys, toucans, the majestic morpho butterfly, and the giant green iguana to name just a few. Someone said it’s paradise itself. Our PADI training facility was planned as a unique educational atmosphere. It has a lounge area for viewing audiovisual material and a hammock area to chill out while reading. Enjoy and explore the magic ambience of Punta Uva’s perfect beach by trekking along a 30 minute breathtaking jungle path or visit “Punta Uva Lounge.” It is the perfect spot to hang around & eat delicious sea food or homemade burgers, while enjoying a Daiquiri, Sex On The Beach, or a cold beer during the marvellous sunset. Costa Rica's Caribbean Sea coast offers a wonderful underwater adventure: Punta Uva Beach, located at the very heart of the Gandoca Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge. This stunning fringing reef (a growing reef close to the shore) offers a unique marine biodiversity, packed with fish and living coral, only 4 minutes away from our beach front Dive Shop! Sea rods, sea fans, elk horn coral, brain coral, fire coral, not to mention the beautiful tropical fish like the parrot fish, angel fish, scorpion fish, barracuda, butterfly fish, trunk fish, spotted eagle ray, green moray, and thousands more, including the evasive nurse shark and black tip Shark.
