Raziščite polotok Osa
Polotok Osa je polotok na jugozahodni obali Kostarike, v pokrajini Puntaneras, zato ima obalo na Tihem oceanu. To je eno bolj neraziskanih območij Kostarike in eno od območij z največjo biotsko raznovrstnostjo, zato je idealen kraj za osupljive in sproščujoče potope daleč od množice ljudi. Pri potapljanju na polotoku Osa se običajno potaplja iz zaliva Drake ali okoli otoka Caño. Obe lokaciji sta znani po velikem številu morskih vrst, neokrnjeni vodi, cvetočih grebenih in vznemirljivi topografiji.
