Diving Safaris is the oldest dive shop in the area, having been created by another diving enthusiast over 20 years ago. It has since continued to be one of the best dive shops in the area, offering small, personalized dive vacations to customers around the world. Diving Safaris is a fun, friendly and customer oriented PADI 5 Star Dive Resort and is the oldest dive shop in the area! We offer daily diving and snorkeling excursions. Plus, we offer introductory scuba classes and PADI courses all the way through to Dive-master. Check out our Turn Pro! page for more information about becoming a PADI professional. We are located in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste; just 30 minutes away from the Liberia International Airport. Our location puts us in the heart of some of the best diving in the area, including Catalina Islands and the famed Isla Murcielagos (Bat islands). Diving Safaris is owned and run by its owner, Bobbie Jo, with help from her two daughters, Kelley and Karie Jo. Bobbie Jo and Kelley are both PADI Open Water Scuba trainers and Karie is a PADI Divemaster. In 1997, then dive shop owner Earl Gibbs and now dive shop owner, Bobbie Jo, were itching to live their dream, to own their own dive shop in a tropical country where they could dive, have fun and raise their daughters. When they saw an ad for a dive shop for sale in Costa Rica, they saw their chance. Originally from Pagosa Springs, Colorado, Earl was a deputy sheriff who also worked in the search and recovery team, while owning a small dive shop, called Pagosah High Dive. Bobbie Jo owned her own business as a child day care provider. Living and diving in Costa Rica was a huge change, but one they happily made. In the winter of 1997, Earl and Bobbie Jo bought the dive shop and moved the whole family down to Costa Rica. Learning to adapt and run a business in Costa Rica was quite an experience. With the help of friends and locals, Diving Safaris is now one of the most well known dive shops in Costa Rica. We are a 5 Star PADI Dive Center, located in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. We offer a variety of PADI courses, from Discover Scuba through to Divemaster. There are over 25 different local and advanced dive sites; including Catalina Islands and Isla Murcielagos (Bat ISlands). Diving Safari on Scuba Diver Girls Directory Email Diving Safari
