About this site
Manuel Antonio National Park is where rainforest meets reef, on the Central Pacific coast south of Quepos. The diving here is on rocky reefs, caverns and volcanic structures, and the sites are 15 to 20 minutes by boat from Quepos Marina.
Turtles, reef sharks, octopus, seahorses, puffers, lobsters and eels are the main marine life. December to May brings the best surface and visibility conditions.
