CMAS 1 Star Diving Certification & Discovery Courses
There are numerous wonderful dive sites all along Nicoya Peninsula’s coast, including Islas Tortuga. The dive sites are famous for excellent visibility and large variety of tropical fish, manna rays, nurse sharks and more.

CMAS takes diver training seriously and places the utmost emphasis on three key areas: safety, diver competence and marine conservation. To insure quality instruction, CMAS programs provide comprehensive training at both the diver and instructor levels. According to the official website: “CMAS programs are based on a system of teaching and mentoring that when combined produce divers who are superior in knowledge, skills and abilities. As a result of this comprehensive training, CMAS divers are not only safe and competent in the water, but are also more appreciative of the marine environment.” CMAS’s 1 Star Diving Certification courses are equivalent to PADI’s open water dive certification.
