Quality dive shop and a quality team. The crew was laid back and fun which made the experience above the water just as enjoyable as underwater. Thank you Kris and Karrina! The diving conditions during our visit were great as well. It was my first time in the Pacific but visibility, water temperature, and wildlife were ideal. The highlights of... More

I did an introduction dive to side mount diving. Martin is a great teacher, and this new experience was really fun. The water was pretty clear and we saw sharks, rays, even on our safety stop. In all my years of diving I have not seen so many different species. We also had our 11 year old do a discover... More

This was my first trip to Costa Rica and wasn't sure what to expect about diving in the Pacific. Having dove in the Caribbean many times over the last 25 years, diving in CR was a bit different. It was the first time I ever left a dive boat without being able to see the bottom of ocean. That being... More

My daughter and I spent a week diving with Rich Coast Diving (RCD) last week. In a word - Fantastic! This is a top notch operation offering a high level of service and fun, all tempered with the caution and controls of a 1st class dive operation. They clearly merit their 5-star PADI rating. Our first contact with them was... More

We spent four days diving with Rich Coast in November 2011 and had a great time. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help you. They tried hard to make sure that we went to dive at different sites each day, even though the other people that we were diving with changed each day. The kit... More

Did my open water certification dives with Rich Coast Diving. The staff were friendly, easy going, and extremely accommodating--I had a scheduling conflict and they worked around it. Instructor Jaume/Jim was excellent--knew what he was doing, clear about conveying lessons, affable, and then able to lead an excellent dive in addition to the training. Enjoyed the company of the others... More

This was my first ocean dive and the people at Rich Coast were fantastic! Kris our dive instructor was VERY patient with both me and my friend and a completely riot to boot. To say that we were both a little nervous is an understatement. We had a great time and I was impressed with the care that they took... More

Rich Coast Diving was the best thing my mother and I did on our trip. Neither one of us had any diving experience but the great people that work there made sure we were ready for our first dive. Rob and Devan provided excellent instruction and took great care of us, making sure were comfortable and safe in the water.... More
