Dive center

Oceans Unlimited

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Come scuba diving in Costa Rica with Oceans Unlimited. A PADI IDc dive center that specializes in Scuba diving trips, vacations and PADI dive courses around Manuel Antonio and the Quepos Area.  We teach all levels of training from discover scuba experiences to professional dive programs including PADI Divemaster and IDC instructor programs. We also have a partner marine conservation non-profit in house, that integrates marine conservation programs and workshops into a lot of the scuba diving that we do. 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.
