Whale Sharks In Costa Rica
Whale sharks aren’t commonly seen in the waters off the coast of Costa Rica. When they are it is a huge treat! Here is a recent sighting that was made at the dive site Turning Point!
Rocket Frog Divers was the first major project that Jon (Shaggy as he is called in Costa Rica) took on while doing his divemaster internship with the crew. This helped kick start ScubaDiveMarketing.com. Rocket Frog has grown a lot since 2013 when Shaggy first came on board as has. Now with two shops serving a large area of the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica, Rocket Frog sets the industry standard for diving in Costa Rica.

Cupcake
Cupcake Cupcake (in Spanish they use the Spanish word Tetas which has a slightly different meaning!) has 2 large rocks standing out of the water, the most southerly of our dive sites in the Catalinas.

Four Rocks
