Sirenas Diving Costa Rica about the centre

Sirenas Diving is located in Playas del Coco, within the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. This small, owner-operated centre is deeply integrated into the local waters of the Papagayo Gulf, focusing on providing a more intimate experience than the large-scale tour operators.

Rather than managing massive groups, the centre prioritises private and personalised outings. This approach allows for a more flexible rhythm on the water, whether you are exploring the nearby reef flats or heading out to more remote offshore locations.

The club and its team

The centre is managed by its owners and is built on over 30 years of experience in the region. The team is composed of instructors who bring a unique perspective to diving, with many having professional backgrounds in healthcare and education. This ensures a high standard of safety and a methodical approach to training.

The staff communicates in both English and Spanish, making them well-equipped to assist international divers. By keeping the operation small, they maintain a level of personal attention that is often lost in larger dive shops.
