    The Scuba 6 Eco Diving site on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast is a real eye-opener, a place where the reef feels like it’s still finding its footing, but in the best possible way. We love how different it feels from the Pacific side, with a vibe that’s a bit more wild and less trodden. Dropping in, you're immediately struck by the sheer variety of smaller, less flashy critters making a home here. We've spent ages just watching the Savigny’s Brittle Stars navigate the coral, or spotting the delicate Striate Glass-hair Chitons clinging to rocks. It’s a site that rewards slow diving, letting your eyes adjust to the subtle movements. You’ll see plenty of Grunts and Roncos schooling, but our favourite moments are finding things like the Inshore Lizardfish perfectly camouflaged on the sand, or a Slippery Dick darting between the Lavender Rope Sponge and Lesser Starlet Coral. This spot is fantastic for macro photographers or anyone who enjoys a quiet dive, focusing on the smaller details. Don't expect dramatic drop-offs or huge pelagics; instead, come prepared to appreciate the intricate tapestry of a thriving, if understated, Caribbean reef. It’s a great counterpoint to some of the busier sites further north, offering a genuine sense of discovery.
