Puntarenas is a coastal administrative region on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, known for its access to offshore dive areas and popular shore and boat trips from coastal towns. In this region, diving tends to focus on nearby offshore reefs and rocky substrata along the Pacific shoreline, with conditions shaped by tropical海風 and seasonal changes. The area includes the provincial capital and serves as a gateway to central Pacific dive sites; accommodation and services are centered around popular tourist hubs within the province. Marine life varies with habitats, and most diving is accessible from a few key coastal centers.
