Oceans Unlimited scuba diving & Go Pro Costa Rica

Went there for a couple of days for getting upgraded with a few certifications and fun dives. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Bea and Corbyn. Lots of apprentice dive masters to help, and great work on corals restauration from Kat by the Marine Conservation Costa Rica. Planning and coordination can be a bit messy and unreliable but they managed to find solution to get everything done on time. This is a great place for learning and practicing more than for the beauty of the sites as visibility is low and current can be mild. Still I don’t regret coming and would come back !

All great! We did a quick refresher in the pool in the morning and two dives in the afternoon. Water was cloudy, but the staff with us showed us things we might have missed. Staff were SO great, both in the water and out. Kudos to Nash in the main stores who was a gem! Highly recommend this location. Special treat, a mugging of pilot whales was going through and the boat captain made sure we had front row seats.

My wife and I visited Quepos from Oregon to do our open water referral dives. Wenda was always lightning fast in responding to my questions prior to flying to Costa Rica and made us feel extremely welcome when we arrived at the shop on day one! Thomas was our dive instructor and we couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and patient teacher. My wife and I both have backgrounds in education and it was clear that Thomas cared about being a great instructor, and he was! His passion for diving and conservation was infectious and we both had a great time earning our open water certifications. We would absolutely recommend Oceans unlimited, Thomas and the rest of their team for your dive needs in Quepos. We will for sure dive with them again next time we are here.

I went on a snorkeling trip with this company on May 15, 2025, and unfortunately, it was a major letdown. The first snorkeling site had dangerously rough waters — large waves and swells made it nearly impossible to enjoy the experience, and my friend and I struggled just to stay afloat. It felt unsafe, and we were picked up early (understandably), but then left waiting on the boat while divers finished their session. We also had to sit through unrelated swim tests for people doing diving certifications, which had nothing to do with our snorkeling trip. At the second site, conditions were better, but we were again pulled out early and left waiting for the divers. Overall, the whole trip felt rushed and unbalanced. Snorkelers clearly weren’t a priority, despite the $100 per person price tag. Having snorkeled elsewhere in Costa Rica, I can confidently say this was the worst experience — both in terms of safety and value. I would not recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quality snorkeling experience.

I did my first ocean dive (local dive) with Korby and Roxy as dive guides and it was amazing. They were very helpful, fun and made me feel extremely safe at all times. I had to do a backroll entry for the first time and was a bit nervous about it but it was very well demonstrated and their instructions were very clear so I managed perfectly fine. We saw a lot of different fish (zebra eels, puffer fish, stone fish, …) and a huge turtle. 10/10 recommend both the dive center and Korby and Roxy as guides :)

I think it's important to separate the company from the dive sites. Where we dove had low visibility and we mostly saw small creatures and a couple of bigger trigger fish and the likes. But the attention and the kindness of the team made it more than worthwhile. I had had a bad experience in Caño island a few days prior (too much current which made me panic and rise way too fast), and upon my arrival at the dive shop, the guy reassured me. It didn't feel at all like it was to be able to sell anything, really just that I wasn't the first nervous person he's had. He also told me there are often extra DM on training with the groups so I asked if we could maybe have an extra with us. Upon the day of the dive, my DM was actually the lead instructor B AND we had a DM in training. I really couldn't have asked for more to get me back into the water. B was super patient with me and after the initial shock of going back in (for which she held my hand and often made sure I was ok) I was able to let go and enjoy the dive, and the following one as well. I've seen a comment about big groups, but I think we were four groups on the boat, each with a DM (and maybe a trainee DM) and max 4 people fun diving from what I could tell. Super grateful to the team where everyone was kind, some fruits were given during the breaks, a lot of details were given prior to the dives, recaps of signals, etc. I'm not sure I recommend the dive sites as I prefer higher visibility (maybe it was the day, the currents, the time of the year - might just need to ask), but I definitely recommend this dive shop and everyone I've had the chance to meet, especially if you're nervous. They also have a coral preservation program if ever that might interest you! Many people wanting to become DM seem to go there for this aspect. Pura vida!

Had an awesome experience diving in Quepos. B was a great instructor. She made the dives safe and fun for me and my 11 year old son. Highly recommend!

Had a great time diving with Corbyn, Darcy and Sam. Visibility was low and rough currents were constantly pushing us around, which made for a unique and memorable pair of dives. The sites we explored had a nice variety of seafloor geography, strewn with jutting rocks and short walls to explore. We managed to spot a nudibranch, and came across a pair of mating turtles near the anchor point. Dive sites were a quick boat ride from the shop, and the trip each way was one majestic wave battered crag after another. The crew were friendly and entertaining. Thanks everyone!
