Santa Teresa

Santa Teresa is a small coastal town on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, known for surf and beach charm rather than significant local diving. The area focuses on shore access and surf-friendly coast, with few nearby dive centers or practical dive sites right at the town. Visitors who dive typically plan trips to larger nearby destinations on the Pacific coast or to freshwater options elsewhere in Costa Rica for training, but there is limited diving activity directly in Santa Teresa itself.
