Why dive here
With 217+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and pufferfish - Pesebre offers some of Caribbean Coast's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Pesebre, a straightforward dive on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, offers a chance to explore a rocky reef landscape. We've seen a consistent mix of parrotfish and angelfish here, along with the occasional moray eel peering from crevices. It’s a decent option for divers looking for a relaxed outing, perhaps between other activities, rather than a destination dive itself. Expect a pleasant, unhurried tour of the local reef residents.
