TIKOSCUBA - Caribbean Coast

TIKOSCUBA operates out of Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, a less-dived region compared to the Pacific. Expect smaller-scale operations focusing on local reef dives, often shallower and with a chance of drift. It's a good choice for divers wanting to explore an alternative side of Costa Rica, away from the bigger dive crowds. The area suits those who appreciate a laid-back vibe and aren't chasing pelagics.
