Bloody Reef

No reviews yetCosta Rica, Caribbean

The best and easiest beach dive in Costa Rica. Classic coral reefs. If there are big waves forget it. Part of Manzanillo Reefs. Just walk in to the water from the center of town and there is more sweet reef than you will see even if you dive it every day for a week.
