WHAT OUR DIVERS SAY

Uncharted Diving Expeditions reviews

Tim Trotter

"Had a blast with Marco.. I've got a few hundred dives elsewhere, but this was my first pacific dive. Hoping for some bigger fauna and Marco didn't disappoint, saw 3 huge Manta rays on the 2nd dive near Las Catalinas..."

David Day

"I did two days of diving with Marco in late February at Catalina...Very nice to be on your own schedule in the water and you can tell that Marco is just as excited to see things as you are, will definitely rebook next time I visit."

"Diving with Marco was the best part of my trip in Costa Rica! I’m a certified diver and my girlfriend did the discover diving. Marco by far was the best teacher, guide, and diving buddy I have ever experienced."

SCUBA DIVING IN GUANACASTE

DISCOVER COSTA RICA'S WILD NORTH PACIFIC

Guanacaste offers a different side of Costa Rica diving. Volcanic islands, open Pacific waters, and nutrient-rich currents attract everything from schooling rays and whitetip reef sharks to giant schools of fish, bull sharks, and seasonal oceanic manta rays.

 

Based in Playa Flamingo, we explore some of the region's best dive sites at the Catalina and Murciélago Islands, with each dive planned around the conditions and marine life activity of the day.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

GUIDED BY EXPERIENCE

I'm Marco Rossi, PADI Instructor and founder of Uncharted Diving Expeditions.

​

After years of working in high-volume dive operations, I realized that the part of diving I valued most was getting lost in the routine, the connection with the people I was diving with.

​

I created UDE to bring that back. Smaller, privately guided experiences where we can get to know our divers, understand what they want from the day, and adapt the dives around their experience, interests, and the conditions.

​

Today, whether you're diving with me or one of the guides I work with, that idea remains the same: a more personal way to experience Costa Rica's Pacific.
