Pirate CoveResort

Pirate Cove is a hotel on Bahia Drake, on the Osa Peninsula, with a PADI dive resort attached. Mail goes to Sierpe, Costa Rica, but the diving happens at the Caño Island Biological Reserve.

Around the island, open-ocean and Pacific reef fish share the water. Divers can come across white tipped reef sharks, turtles, moray eels, rays and schools of barracuda and tuna. Depending on the season, humpbacks, orcas and pilot whales pass through, along with several kinds of dolphin. Manta rays and the occasional whale shark show up now and then. Staff speak English and Spanish, and snorkeling is available.
