Category: Costa Rica

In 2016 I did my dive master internship in Costa Rica with Rich Coast Diving. This diveshop is located in the small town Playa del Coco, which is on the pacific side. Easiest way to get there is to fly to Liberia in Costa Rica. The airport is only a 30 minute drive from the dive shop. During my PADI divemaster internship I wrote several blogs about the dive master experience. I hope you enjoy these dive master blogs! And if you have any questions, feel free to contact me on Facebook or Instagram ! Follow me :)

Last Friday I had my first day off and I decided to spend the day in Liberia. Liberia is the capital of Guanacaste, a province in Costa-Rica.

Taking the bus from Playa del Coco to Liberia The bus stop is conveniently right outside the dive shop where I do my internship (Rich Coast…

Well, this is a bit embarrassing, yesterday I had my first (and hopefully last) sea sickness experience. This is extra embarrassing because I grew up on a boat in Amsterdam and have spent my entire life around and on water. For those who noticed there’s a movie with this post, do not worry, there is no disgusting content on the video! 😉 The video is about boat cleaning, which directly gets me to the way I managed to get sea sick. By boat cleaning! Boat cleaning, part of the Divemaster…

In exactly 7 days I’m starting my journey towards Central America. My good friends Miranda and Ruud will be dropping me off at the airport Schiphol and then I’ll be on my way to Costa-Rica. The journey door-to-door will be just under 24 hours, a serious day of travelling! I’ll be spending 2,5 months total in Costa-Rica and after that, I’ll be briefly home for just over a week to then leave again for Hawaii.
