Jinetes de Osa / Snorkeling
Located: Drake
Bay, Osa Peninsula, south pacific, Puntarenas.
Description: Caño Island offers some of the most exciting diving
anywhere in the world. A wide variety of marine life can be
discovered beneath the island waters. Perhaps the most memorable
encounters occur with the pelagic that inhabit the area. Schools
of mobula rays (devil rays), turtles, and white tip reef sharks
can be seen on many dives. On almost every dive, the large schools
of fish swimming around and overhead can be breathtaking.
Sometimes the numbers are so great that sunlight can actually be
blocked by these large schools of fish, creating an underwater
eclipse. Although not as common, the elusive whale shark and the
giant bull shark are often spotted in the area. Water visibility
is good and can range from 45-90 feet. Temperatures hover in the
upper seventies to low eighties throughout the year and provide
for an exquisite diving experience.
