Jacó

Jacó is a small coastal town in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica. While the area is known for its surf beaches and jungle surroundings, it is not a major diving hub. Nearby coastal reefs and calm Pacific waters can offer limited diving opportunities, but there are no local dive centers within the city. Divers visiting Jacó typically access larger nearby dive destinations along the Costa Rican Pacific coast for reef and pelagic dives, or pursue freshwater options elsewhere in the country. Overall, the town serves as a gateway for eco-tourism rather than a primary diving base.
