Imagine snorkeling Costa Rica’s tropical islands, coral reefs, and underwater marine life in the warm beautiful waters of the Caribbean or Pacific Ocean! Millions of years ago the pressure of 2 tectonic plates pushed Central America up from the sea floor forming a bridge from North to South America. This geological history began an abundance of biodiversity creating new ecosystems found all along the coastal regions, enhanced by the mineral rich waters from volcanoes. Typically, calm and clear conditions prevail for snorkelers to swim with schools of fish and experience the vibrancy of a wide variety of sea creatures easily found living in the rocks and reefs close to shore. In addition to the many brightly colored tropical fish, huge sea turtles or rays may be swimming in the area, and if you’re traveling by boat, you’ll almost always see a dolphin or two.
