Raised in the tiny coastal village of Cabuya, Alonso grew up in the ocean that is now his “office”. He knows it like no one else and is the most skilled boat driver we know, easily maneuvering our boat through large waves, strong currents and rocky channels. In addition, he is the Malpaís port’s go-to mechanic for outboard motors plus he is a certified diver so we feel especially safe with him!

When her uncle taught her how to dive at the age of 12 she was immediately smitten by the ability to breathe underwater and feel like a part of the environment she constantly wanted to explore. Now she enjoys searching for new sites on our ever-changing Pacific and helping new and experienced divers discover and appreciate the ocean in all its moods and surprises.

For Amanda, diving is a lifestyle that takes priority in all her decisions, and sharing the joy of beach living and love for ocean creatures (especially whales) is where she excels. When she’s not diving Amanda spends her time with loved ones and taking pictures.

Start your day with a tour around the Nicoya coastline before heading right out to sea for the remainder of the trip to search for bait balls surrounded by the most elegant hunters in the sea! The ocean may be deep, but larger fish corral baitfish to the surface, the baitfish then form a defensive baitball which attracts swarms of sea birds diving into the water to snatch the fish. That is the visual signal that we will look for to find the action. If the conditions are suitable, we will snorkel around the bait balls, hoping to get glimpses of sailfish, tuna, spinner dolphins and other pelagic species. The full-day tour (approx. 7 hours) is suitable for adults that are comfortable on boats and with previous snorkelling experience. Lunch is provided. 1) Go Under rib boat: $1500 for up to 6 people https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/80d62d78-d365-4e9c-8bbf-677c9c219235/IMG_3979.jpg Wildlife Cruises - Pacific Sunset Tour Santa Teresa is renowned for its gorgeous sunsets over the Pacific. It is an unwritten requirement for locals and visitors alike to make time every evening to walk out to the beach and watch the sun disappear into the ocean and witness the sky explode with dramatic colours. On this experience we will launch the boat at 4:00 pm and head out to cruise around the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve to watch the birds flying back from their hunt, scanning the entire time for some wildlife, enjoying an easy fruit snack and a bubbly until the sun sizzles away through the waves. We will return to the beach by 6:00 pm. Includes one bottle of bubbly and snacks. A cooler is available on the boat if you would like to bring your own additional refreshments. Book a private boat: 1) Blas de Lezo panga: $400 for up to 6 people 2) Go Under rib boat: $600 for up to 10 people https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/eddd6b06-7012-423b-901b-f920d7739e72/PHOTO-2023-11-15-09-13-59.jpg Wildlife Cruises - Wildlife, Sightseeing and Snorkelling Tour Embark on a four-hour wildlife, sightseeing, and snorkeling tour, perfect for families and young children!

You will also head offshore in search of pelagic species like dolphins and whales. Your experienced guide will share insights about the local marine wildlife, stunning rock formations, and the tropical Pacific coastline. After exploring the ocean, you will snorkel at Cabuya’s Cemetery Island, where your private snorkel guide will introduce you to a variety of rocky reef fish, eagle rays and other marine creatures in shallow waters. This unique tour combines wildlife sightseeing and snorkelling and is suitable for all ages and skill levels. All snorkel equipment is provided!

The protocol includes how boat captains should position their vessel at manta sites, and how guides should manage guests in the water, and as they enter/exit.

In the past ten years, the annual global production of plastics grew from 250 million tons to 368 million tons, which has contributed to the increasing ubiquity of plastic in the marine environment. Approximately 19–23 million tons of plastic waste enters the marine environment every year, 80% of which is derived from land-based sources and coastal tourism, while 20% is caused by ocean-based sources. Harmful implications of plastics to the marine environment include habitat degradation, entanglement, ingestion, the transportation of invasive species and injury or death to taxa. In addition, because of its lightweight and durable properties, plastics take decades to break down and are resistant to biodegradation. Iguana divers partner with Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve and Waterkeepers to organise local beach cleans. Together we rally volunteers to clean different local beaches, the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve and Isla Cabo Blanco. These are great events where you can enjoy being outdoors, feel the benefits of community spirit and make a difference. Please keep an eye on our social media posts and events to be a part of our next beach clean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/540cdac1-d233-4f3f-8e54-93f7d9b36491/22.jpeg Community Engagement - Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve Found on the north Pacific’s Nicoya Peninsula, Reserva Natural Absoluta Cabo Blanco (RNACB) became Costa Rica’s first terrestrial protected area in 1963 (12.7km2 ). In 1982, it was expanded to include 1km of shoreline ocean to create the country’s first MPA (16.68km2 ), with its main objectives to protect marine diversity and providing a refuge to nesting seabirds. Costa Rica’s only site listed as an IUCN 1a strict nature reserve, RNACB is protected under the strictest management category, which does not permit fishing and controls human visitation and activities, enforced by the Sistema Nacional de Áreas de Conservación (SINAC). In 2017, Cabo Blanco marine management area (MMA) was added to the reserve, covering a further 828.18km2. Also managed by SINAC, the MMA aims to: promote conservation and sustainable use of the area, ensure the reproduction of fish and regulate and promote responsible fishing Iguana Divers work closely with the SINAC park rangers and support their protection of the reserve, including collecting ghost fishing nets. Our instructor Ophelia led a fundraising effort and raised $10,000 to acquire a tractor for RNACB. With this tractor they are able to launch their boat quickly and efficiently which will overall help them to better patrol and protect the reserve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090818589-MX3266U296T9JDYZCLMU/0122-Iguana%2BDivers-Team.2.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1728235925686-U5BQNUYYNGGDZZ6GEI00/IMG_7359.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090809376-RO8PUZOF2TEV8G7TAU6L/0122-Iguana%2BDivers-Local%2Barea.3.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090830198-5U9WJ8VML6W9WNLTDRM8/0122-Iguana%2BDivers-Team.3.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090841416-4S8H43008WI2TCXTLZC6/0122-Iguana%2BDivers-Team.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090861932-U5A1X5Q07I8DGC1QN1QN/turtle.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090849110-HHV22DAMLCO0FTQ9RIQC/IMG_8212.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1698090783921-IQK9LR4NOFXGBB31VK2I/plastic.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1728235768127-VX1OT0EZZZQZQ0EZZWU0/0122-Iguana+Divers-Team.4.jpg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1728236036850-H56K0SEGAB4LB558MRTH/8.jpeg Community Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/1728253698874-O0MHOJW8W8STYCQOADU1/0122-Iguana+Divers-Team.3.JPG Community Engagement https://www.iguanadivers.com/diving daily 0.75 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/a693924a-2791-4fab-a8ed-d19e778954bc/73a07f2c-290e-45b2-85f0-d364e9e7c9e9.JPG Diving - Price Guide All of our prices include: - 13% VAT - Equipment - Guides - Snacks and water on the boat *Transportation to our boat in Malpaís is not included, but we are happy to put you in touch with a taxi for you to share. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d80e64bebafb24a3530d87/14e2669c-1c95-4edf-a5c9-954d90c857e0/PHOTO-2024-01-09-18-55-23.jpg Diving - Packages for certified divers - 5 Day Package (10 Dives): Purchase for $725 (normally $825).
