FAQ
When is the best time to see giant manta rays at the Catalina Islands?
Giant Pacific manta rays are most reliably seen at the Catalina Islands from December through April, during the dry season when cooler, nutrient-rich water sweeps through the area. The mantas come to specific cleaning stations on the rocky pinnacles where cleaner fish remove parasites. January and February are typically peak months with the highest probability of multiple manta encounters on a single dive. During the warm season from May to November, mantas are less predictable, though they can occasionally appear year-round.
How far are the Catalina Islands from shore and how do I arrange diving?
The Catalina Islands lie approximately 20 kilometres offshore from Playas del Coco and Playa Hermosa on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The boat ride takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes. Multiple dive operators in Playas del Coco and nearby beach towns run daily trips to the islands, typically departing early morning and returning by early afternoon with two dives included. The crossing can be choppy during the windy season from December to March, so seasickness medication is recommended for sensitive individuals.
What is the visibility like at the Catalina Islands?
Visibility at the Catalina Islands is variable and generally lower than Caribbean standards, ranging from 8 to 20 metres depending on conditions. The lower visibility is actually a positive sign, as it results from the nutrient-rich upwelling that attracts the manta rays and other large marine life. During cooler water periods from December to April, visibility tends to be at the lower end of the range but marine life encounters are at their best. Warmer months from May to November can bring clearer water but fewer pelagic sightings. Experienced divers learn to embrace the green-tinted water as the price of admission for world-class encounters.
