Tamarindo Scuba Diving

Explore some great scuba diving at the islands off Tamarindo

This Tamarindo diving trip goes to the Catalina Islands, which is a group of different volcanic rock formations that emerge to the surface at the Flamingo Bay. These circumstances provide the special setting for the abundant marine life.

The Flamingo Marina, located just 20 miles away, is your gateway to experiencing Tamarindo’s premier scuba diving adventures. Dive into the vibrant waters of Las Catalinas, teeming with marine life. Encounter majestic manta rays, white-tip reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, and devil rays. You’ll also marvel at schools of cow nose rays, jacks, and grunts—some of the most commonly spotted species in these thriving underwater ecosystems.

The bottom is mostly volcanic and the average maximum depth is 70 – 80 feet. Visibility, currents and conditions in general tend to change every day. Currents, when present, are not strong, divers drift with it and the boat follows to pick them up at the end of the dive. Visibility varies from 30 feet to 60-70 feet, depending on the day and the season. Our Tamarindo diving operator works under the PADI Association rules.

Our family of 5 had a great experience. All of us were able to stand up and surf, and we enjoyed it so much we rented boards from them the next day. We wanted to thank Luis, Grehel, Tasha, Piki, and Josy. From the intake, to the lessons, to the photo package that I recommend to have memories to take home with you. Safety was kept at the utmost importance, from their concern of my previously injured knee, to keeping a watchful eye on our youngest.

Great Surf Trip thanks to Iguana Surf I booked the the Ultimate Iguana Surf Camp package in December 2024. This includes 7 nights in a shared dorm, shuttle to/from the airport, 5 surf lessons, 1 surf trip, video/photos, and unlimited surfboard rentals for the duration of the week. Everything was well organized/coordinated via Whatsapp (thanks Oscar). The airport pickup was super easy and convenient. The hostel itself is well managed as is the surf shop. The instructors were all great, especially Luis. Every single member of the staff was super helpful with questions/recommendations. Tamarindo is a great place to learn to surf. Location is also super convenient, though, Tamarindo itself isn't too big. If you're looking for place to learn to surf, don't over think it, just book and enjoy. Pura Vida!
