Safety, Speed, and Spacious Design
A Comfy Boat, Built for Diving
Our custom-built 36-foot boat was manufactured in 2024 for one purpose: diving. With two YAMAHA 250hp engines, it delivers a smooth, fast ride to the best dive sites near Playas del Coco.
It comfortably fits 14 divers with space for two tanks each, ensuring a relaxed and uncrowded experience. With shade, seating, and ample gear space, the ride is both functional and enjoyable.
You’ll feel safe onboard thanks to a sturdy ladder, GPS, navigation lights, and emergency equipment including a DAN-standard first aid kit and oxygen units, ready for any situation.
This is more than a boat — it’s part of what makes Life & Dive the dive shop in Costa Rica that divers trust for comfort, safety, and professionalism.
