If you are a diver or have always wanted to take scuba diving lessons. The Flamingo area is a great jumping-off point for exploring and discovering the deep blue of Catalinas islands. Surrounded by small rocks that are also a great diving point. Visibility in the Catalinas ranges throughout the year, however, the best visibility can often be found from May through mid-November. But the area makes up for it with the rich and varied marine life, Catalinas to being the only place of resting and feeding for so many species that travel along this biological corridor… so you’ll likely encounter a lot of different species around these little islands of Catalinas.

The Catalinas are situated about a 20 minutes boat ride from Flamingo. And it offers your best chance to swim with the Pacific Giant Mantas in Costa Rica. The huge prize is to swim with the Pacific Giant Manta whose wingspan can be wider than a vehicle is long. These can be found in the Catalinas island most of the year. There have also been occasional whale shark and orca whale sightings in the area. Sightings of the humpback whale and dolphins are also quite common.
