All about The Aquarium dive site

Tortuga Island
The Aquarium is a Costa Rican site name used for fish-rich reef areas, likely referring to a colourful, accessible site where marine life density is the main draw. It is best described as a relaxed reef dive rather than a deep technical site.

What to see

Expect reef fish, sergeant majors, snappers, grunts, angelfish-like tropical fish, pufferfish, moray eels, rays, and small crustaceans. The main attraction is busy, approachable fish life.

When To Go Diving

December to May is usually best for coastal visibility and sea state. Water temperatures are generally around 26–29°C, with visibility depending on wind, plankton, and local current.
