    Costa Rica is not know for coral. But it is know for big fish, Sharks and Rays.
    Didn't see a single shark but I did swim with a 12 foot manta Ray.

    Anyway here is a slide show of some not so good dive shots

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Thank you for sharing.

    I saw crocodiles while diving on the Pacific side, after that I was out of the water in short order. However before my departure I saw some very nice sponges and gorgonians.
