Outstanding!!! My I ask what was the depth & the rough date of the dive? I see the video uploaded at the end of Sept. Was it around that time? Asking as I'm going to Costa Rica in a couple weeks (end of August) and looking to dive there. Just trying to understand what to expect from the visibility and marine life, and Isla Murciélago is definitely one of the dive sites I saw to be possible on my dates. Any other advice is much welcome! :) Thanks!!

The date we dove Murcielago was September 9 according to my computer log. Max depth was about 100’ with an average depth of around 60’. Bottom temp was 76F. Bats was excellent. There is a certain amount of surge to contend with there and some surface current as well. We weren’t lucky enough to see any of the resident bull sharks but we were happy to exchange them for a giant oceanic manta. There is plenty of life on the Big Scare and Black Rock. Highly recommend it if your shop offers it. I would’ve liked to do it more but we didn’t have the time. Have a great trip and be safe!
