Scuba Diving with Bill Beard’s and Rocket Frog Divers:
Pristine reefs, dramatic underwater topography and abundant marine life make Costa Rica one of the most sought-after dive destinations in the world. Discover what lies just beneath the surface of their deep-blue Pacific waters.
Nearby dive center Rocket Frog Divers will you pick up and whisk you away for exciting local diving experiences. All instructors, dive masters and guides are PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified. For those who are new to diving, they are proud to offer their Discover Scuba Dive Resort Course, which allows non-divers to experience the thrill and beauty of an underwater adventure. For guests who want to become certified divers, they offer Learn to Dive courses. Additionally, they offer a full range of advanced education courses for experienced, certified divers who want to broaden their skill set. If you’ve already completed a portion of a course, their instructors can assist you and finish it with you through their onsite Referral Program.
Curious about scuba diving? Costa Rica’s Northern Pacific Coast is the perfect place to dip your toes into diving! The Resort Course is designed for beginners and consists of a brief introduction of scuba diving by a certified PADI instructor, followed by a pool training session taught by the same instructor. Once your knowledge has been developed and underwater skills mastered, enjoy two open-water dives (maximum depth 30-40 ft.) You will be introduced to the amazing underwater world off the shores of Costa Rica. These dives are conducted and directly supervised by their experienced dive instructors. Please note that this is not a certification course. Also, the pool training session is mandatory for every participant, even those who have previously completed another introductory scuba program.
Rocket Frog Divers utilizes 4 purpose built dive boats. The Pacific Express is unlike any other in the area. It features two 250HP V6 Yamaha 4 Stroke engines that allow us to visit our dive sites in a fraction of the time that it takes other dive companies. This proves especially worthwhile when you consider that some of the more popular dive sites in the region, the Bat Islands (Isle Murcileago) and the Catalinas Islands are several hour trips with other operators. The Pacific Express can make the voyage to the Catalinas in less than half an hour.
The “Tiburon” or the shark is another purpose built dive shop build for small groups. This dive vessel is perfect for exploring local dive sites in the Gulf de Papagayo with a very small group.
The Devil Ray is a catamaran style dive vessel which they acquired in 2015. It is a catamaran style vessel which offers a lot of room and comfort for divers and also offers an upper level sun deck for surface intervals and for the voyage to and from the dive sites.
