StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Devil's Rock, an extension of Bajo del Diablo off Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, offers a pretty solid deeper dive. We’ve found the rock formations here create some interesting swim-throughs and overhangs. Keep an eye out for whitetip and nurse sharks tucked into crevices, and we’ve often seen big schools of tropical fish swirling around the pinnacles. Mobula rays and the occasional manta have been spotted gliding through the blue, too. The depths here, ranging to 35 metres, make it a good spot for advanced divers looking for a bit more action away from the shallower reefs.
