Day 2 (B-L-D) A full day of diving at Caño Island. Caño Island and selected Osa Península coastal sites provide “unequaled parades of pelagic fish” (Skin diving Magazine): clouds of fish literally block the sun’s rays in the clear water as divers penetrate the fish schools. Brightly colored tropical fish, snapper, tuna, grouper, mackerel, jack, shark, trigger fish, barracuda, manta rays, eels, porcupine fish, sea urchins, octopus, lobster, sponges, sea cucumbers and other marine species are seen. There are 15 or more types of stony coral species as well as the attendant coral eaters (star fish, mollusks, and hermit crabs). The terrain varies widely and includes 20 reefs, 50 underwater pinnacles, canyons, walls and caves. Visibility is good to excellent all year round, often marine life can be viewed 70´ below the surface. Surface sightings include porpoises. Olive Ridley sea turtles, whale sharks, sea snakes and humpback whales . Caño Island and the Osa Península coast are a part of mammoth (Río Sierpe, Río Térraba, Caño Island) marine ecosystem. More than one hundred thousand acres of mangrove wetlands and one thousand miles of fresh and salt water rivers, estuaries and tributaries interact with the Pacific Ocean through tides of which provide for an incredible abundance of marine life. This area of the Pacific is south of trade winds and therefore characterized by gentle swells and breezes. Including: 2 tanks (a 12 liter) per person, per day and the whole equipment and 2 inmertions |
