Do you wanna swim with the big stuff? Did you ever dream of flying through the deep blue sea?  Do you want to see a spinner dolphin spin? How about swim surrounded by giant tuna?  How about dive with giant manta rays, turtles, or mahi mahi? Maybe you would like to see a wild forest spring turn into a creek, into a waterfall, into a river, into the sea, in an hour? Or maybe you just want to learn about these water ecosytems?  We will show you right here online at Costa Cetacea. And we can show you the real thing right here in Caletas and Drake Bay and the offshore Osa.  This site has new articles and photos weekly about Costa Rica's marine life and aquatic resources, especially offshore Osa peninsula and Cano Island Biological Reserve.

Help us save Cetaceans and the ecosystems they depend on by taking a journey through, and falling in love with, their home and the places that effect them. Come dive in to their big blue world.  Paddle the sweet waters that flow to their sea.  Try to think like a dolphin.


From freshwater springs and waterfalls to the deep blue sea it´s all connected.


We will take you from gurgling forest creeks to the unfathomable offshore open ocean. From otters to dolphins, from baby fish to fish bigger than you, from giant trees, to giant turtles, to giant tuna.  We will kayak, swim, dive and learn. You can check it all out on your screen and get dialled in to see the real thing.


Take the voyage of water and learn about the connectedness of Costa Rica´s most diverse ecosystem; the rainforest, with her most productive; the open ocean, known as the pelagic ecosystem. 


We think the dolphins and whales have a dream, they want you to know about how the fresh from the sky raindrop on your mountain top flows to their salty sea. They want freedom from deadly nets and pollution and oppression of their cultures. They want you to stop eating shrimp and canned tuna.  They want us to become more aware of the cycle of water.


You can see it all in one day, bubbling spring to blue sea. That´s how fast water moves in places like Costa Rica. You will see that what we put in the water rather quickly ends up with the Cetaceans.


Come listen to what the water and the whales have to say.


But of course you want to learn more online right now, so check out our photos and words and dive into Costa Cetacea
