The diving
On land, Manuel Antonio is the second most visited national park in Costa Rica, the diversity of animals and vegetation in this volcanic jungle park is famous worldwide. Imagine how the lava was flowing thousands of years ago, from land and into the ocean, creating reefs and hideouts for all the marine life. Below the surface, the marine park continues its beauty!

The beauty of the reef here is not the corals growing in it, but the topography of the old lava flows. Big boulders, underwater mazes and dramatic walls are what you will be surrounded by. Take these incredible formations and add a healthy marine life to it such as most common reef fish, some funky octopus and a good variety of eels and crustaceans.

For the larger pelagics, you might get lucky with anything like reef sharks, rays, sea turtles, dolphins and in season the majestic humpback whales and manta rays (Dec - April).
