With 217+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and pufferfish - Veinteseis offers some of Caribbean Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Veinteseis, off Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, offers a straightforward dive. Expect to see some of the usual reef fish, like parrotfish and snapper, along with the occasional moray eel peeking from crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, suitable for newer divers looking to build confidence without strong currents or complex navigation. We find it’s a decent option if you’re already in the area and looking for an easy afternoon in the water.
