Diving with Purpose

Costa Rica’s territory may be small, but our maritime zone is a vast, magnificent, fragile underwater paradise. These fascinating programs are an open door to enjoy, learn, raise awareness, get involved, and be part of our commitment to nature.

Our commitment to nature is a perennial challenge. Therefore, we strive to work with the best local organizations and specialists in the field and promote Citizen Science. Citizen Science allows people to contribute to the scientific community of Costa Rica, where data collected by volunteers is as valuable as that collected by scientists.

On the Other Side of the Wave Expedition – Caño Island: This expedition focuses on monitoring reef fish and corals at Caño Island, a location rich in biodiversity and coral reefs. It is led by the Keto Foundation, which specializes in marine conservation.

Keto Foundation’s 5-Day Program: The Keto Foundation offers a 5-day program that covers various marine areas, including reefs, open sea, and mangroves. It includes conferences on Coral Monitoring, Reef Fish, Pelagic Species, and Climate Change, as well as daily diving and data collection.
