Dive center

Oceans Unlimited

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Oceans Unlimited is a PADI Career development center and ECO Dive center on the central pacific coast of Costa Rica. We teach all levels of training from discover scuba experiences to professional dive programs. With our partner marine conservation non-profit we work hard to bring the beauty and importance of the ocean into everything that we do. A look forward to sharing that with all of our visiting divers.

We are located in Quepos / Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, surrounded by rainforest filled with monkeys and exotic birds. The local underwater environment is just as stunning, with mind-blowing volcanic formations and a multitude of tropical fish. Our mission is to provide quality, safe, PADI recreational dive courses.

We have a variety of different dive sites and most locations are limited to one boat. You will never experience the feeling that there are more divers than fish!

If you like adventure and want to experience something different then Manuel Antonio is the place for you. The warm waters, the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly people will give you an experience that you will never forget!

We offer a number of different exciting snorkeling and dive options both in Manuel Antonio and Isla del Caño.

What to expect

The Divemaster course is split into 4 parts. The first is your academics, which involves 2 exams, and 9 knowledge reviews all completed online before you arrive. On arrival you will complete a quick review with your instructors before scheduling the inwater sections. You will have to complete inwater stamina tets, including swims and snorkels, as well as a mapping project and various workshops. This will be scheduled throughout your time and develop your skills as a professional.

You will be involved in teaching workshops for Discover Scuba Diving, ReActivates, skin diving courses and snorkel tours too.

You will shadow both instructors and Divemasters, learning how to prepare dive trips, lead dives, and brief clients.

On the ECO divemaster program you will have more of a focus on marine conservation than the standard Divemaster program. During your training you can participate in REEF surveys and coral watch surveys. You will also be completing our unique Coral restoration certification and assisting on the program which is run by our partner non-profit . This certification is unique and will train you to look at reef ecology and structure as well as looking as how a coral restoration project and nurseries are run.

The divemaster program is comprehensive and will train you to become a certified dive professional.
