Isla del Caño is a protected marine reserve located off the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The Okeanos I Aggressor transported us to this stunning national park. Driven by nutrient-rich currents, the diving here is spectacular.

On some dives, the schools were so dense I completely lost sight of my dive buddy—enveloped in a living curtain of fish.
