I'm headed to Costa Rica early next March and would love to squeeze in some dive time.  I'm flying into and out of Liberia.  The bulk of my time will be spent near Nosara and there is one dive operator nearby, but I'm also considering adding a few days on the front or back end of my vacation to do some diving near Tamarindo, Playa Flamingo, or Playa Hermosa.  

Anyhow...  just wondering if anyone here has experience in Costa Rica, and if there are any recommended dive locations or dive operators in the area.

Thanks!

I used Rocket Frog in Guanacaste last year.  Big fan,  the ocean sucks,  wildlife was great.  Lots of sharks, blue whales with Calves, thousands of Mobula Rays. If you go to Playa Del Coco, eat at Villa Italia.

In for info

Thanks!  They were one of the operations I reviewed, glad to hear they get good marks.

Dove northern CR about 8 years ago.  No visibility compared to the rest of Caribbean.  Had way more fun in the jungle and on volcano.

Done deal.  I've booked 4 days of 2-3 tank diving with these folks, and am going to try to squeeze in a couple of night dives as well.  Aside from an upcoming refresher class and hopefully a couple of dives in a Florida spring or two, this will be my first diving in 6-7 years, having given up diving on a regular basis 10-12 years ago.  Hopefully I won't be too much of a train wreck, or at least I hope I'm in good form by the end of the trip...

I'm late but just in case.  

My daughter and I spent a day with Tamarindo Diving summer of 22.  They treated us well.  Smaller dive op.  New boat with room for 12-16 IIRC.  The day my daughter and I were scheduled there was another group of 4-6 that ended up too drunk/hung over to dive.  To their credit they ran the boat anyway.  Captain, mate and dive master with just daughter and me.   Visibility was OK.   One other bit is they offered a daily three tank trip with lunch included vs other ops two tank half day trips.  

Tamarindo Diving

Yeah, a little too late, but I will put them on the list for next year. Did my first three tank dive with rocket frog today. I was the only diver that went out; I offered to cancel the dive but they were all about it. So off we went. Visibility was less than stellar and I was a complete train wreck for the first dive, but still had a great time! Visibility deteriorated over the next two dives, but it was still fun and I'm definitely headed out with them again tomorrow. I brought a GoPro and will hopefully get some pictures, but conditions aren't ideal and I was not able to assemble a decent lighting rig in time. Oh well, underexposed fish pictures are better than no fish pictures at all
