Las Catalinas Classico

Las Catalinas Classico is an advanced dive at the Catalina Islands off Guanacaste in Costa Rica's northern Pacific. This legendary site is famous for its giant manta ray encounters, with mantas regularly visiting the cleaning stations on the rocky reef. The volcanic rock formations descend steeply into blue water, where strong currents bring nutrient-rich upwellings that attract impressive pelagic life. Bull sharks, eagle rays, and massive schools of jacks are common sightings, along with white-tip reef sharks and large groupers. The demanding current conditions require advanced diving skills, but Las Catalinas Classico delivers world-class big-animal diving that has made the Catalina Islands Costa Rica's most renowned Pacific dive destination.
