Scuba Diving Caño Island Costa Rica
Our PADI dive instructors and dive masters take beginners, intermediate, and advance divers aboard our 30-foot island Hopper on a voyage of spectacular ocean adventures.
Aguila de Osa is home to the oldest PADI Resort operations in Drake Bay, since 1993! Let our experienced dive team offer you the optimum diving experience in Costa Rica.
Caño Island is 13 miles off the coast of Drake Bay and the Osa Peninsula. With all it’s clear and vibrant tropical waters, volcanic rock formations, canyons, and pinnacles, all affixed with colorful hard and soft coral, Caño Island makes for a diver’s paradise.
From colorful reef and pelagic fish, to schools of whitetip reef sharks, nurse sharks, and the more rare bull, great hammerhead, and whale sharks there is plenty to see year round. There are also all sorts of rays, such as manta, eagle, mobula, cow, and more, plus several types of sea turtles. Looking hard around these rock formations there is a good chance of running into all sorts of blennies, or hard to see, frog fish, harlequin shrimp (clown shrimp), several species of eels, or even the elusive octopus who all live below Caño Island’s waters. There are big schools of barracuda, horse-eyed Jack, milkfish and huge colorful schools of grunts, snappers, and Porkfish, as well as tropical colored fish like damsel fish, wrasse, king angel, moorish idols, and so much more. Let’s not forget our big resident fish cubera (dog tooth) snappers and amber jacks cruising these waters, remember this is the Pacific Ocean and everything here is bigger!
