About this dive site

This dive site, Tiburon, is characterized by its prominent large rock formations that serve as crucial habitat for marine life. These structures act as both a resting and hunting ground for white-tipped reef sharks, providing an engaging experience for divers. Navigation typically involves exploring around these rock formations.

Divers can expect to encounter a variety of marine species, including white-tipped reef sharks, reef stingrays, butterflyfish, grunts, snappers, angelfish, moray eels, boxfish, and lobsters. Large schools of grunts and snappers are frequently seen, adding to the vibrancy of the reef.

Tiburon is suitable for all divers due to its shallow depth, making it an excellent spot for beginner certifications, underwater photography, and general exploration. While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, the tropical waters of Costa Rica generally offer good diving conditions year-round, with dry season months often bringing calmer seas.
