To Dive Shops & Dive Clubs.
Greetings from beautiful Costa Rica,
The first question is: Why would a dive shop or club want to take a group to Costa Rica? Other than the fact that it’s an exciting great value trip for your customers & members to a beautiful, safe country with spectacular marine life, lots of activities and adventure.
This is Bill Beard’s 45th year of operating scuba diving in Costa Rica and 28th year of combining adventure activities and scuba diving packages.
Costa Rica is a great all-around destination for divers and non-divers alike. Many couples have one diver and one non-diver in the family so it is a perfect destination for both. We have afternoon canopy and wildlife tours that can be done after diving in the AM, so the non-divers do not feel left out or like they are on a “dive only” vacation. All of the divers and non-divers can enjoy hot springs, mud baths, spas, river rafting, canopy tours, wildlife boat tours and much more that may be enjoyed together. Nearly every dive group who has come to Costa Rica has returned with many of the same people and more who heard about the trip and saw the photos. The excitement is infectious.
The tap water is safe to drink and tastes wonderful. There are no visas or shots required to enter Costa Rica. You do need a passport. Costa Rica is 10 degrees from the equator, so it is below the hurricane line and there has not been a hurricane there in the 110 years that records have been kept.
So the second question is, Why Not?
Please take a look at our NEW HD video about scuba diving and adventure in Costa Rica. We are certain this video will create lots of interest in a Costa Rica vacation. Let’s work together and set up a memorable trip to Costa Rica for your customers. They will thank you for it.
