Costa Rica is a small country in Central America, bordered to the north by Nicaragua, to the east by the Caribbean Sea and Panama, to the south and west with the Pacific Ocean. It has been called "the Switzerland of Central America" thanks to a comfortable lifestyle, peaceful democracy and spectacular natural beauty.

Lifestyle and democracy aside, Costa Rica features much greater biodiversity than Europe and the United States combined!

On the incredibly beautiful OSA Peninsula, lies one of the most secret destinations for underwater hunters. A small and pristine privately owned island where the rainforest is considered to be the world’s most beautiful.

Spearfishing here is a true test of your gear and body. The target species, Cubera Snapper, is no easy catch! It is powerful, smart, and deep. Landing one of these fish is a big reward. There are also many other species to hunt, like YFT, Wahoo, Roosterfish, Marlin, Sailfish, Mullet Snapper, Pargo Rojo, Pargo Amarillo, etc., but the Cubera is the king.

With Humpback whales singing enigmatically as you breath up, and the Pure Vida vibe of Costa Rica, spearfishing here is a true gift.
