Bay Holiday
Regarded as Costa Rica's foremost dive travel destination,
Caño Island offers the quintessential underwater
experience. With 6,672 acres of marine habitat
protected under the Costa Rican National Park system,
this sanctuary is not only thriving with an impressive
array of marine life, it also boasts a diverse and
dramatic seascape. Scuba enthusiasts will
find a blue oasis at Cano Island. Fissures, pinnacles,
canyons, and unique rock formations host huge schools
of barracuda, tuna, snapper, and roosterfish.
At times the numbers of fish are so great that sunlight
is actually blocked by an immense cloud of fish.
This stunning phenomena, an underwater eclipse,
is just one of the features which lead dive travelers
to designate Caño Island a world-class destination.
Cano Island also boasts some of the most impressive
marine life in the world. Porpoises and hammerheads
are seen on many dives while schools of rays
and white tip reef sharks provide a dramatic floorshow.
Hundreds of tropicals are also sure to grant the
adventure diver a sensory celebration. With
excellent visibility, between 40 and 90 feet, and
water temperatures hovering between 75 to 82°
F, Caño Island Scuba diving is quite
simply an outstanding adventure.
