About
Scuba Dive With The Best In Costa Rica!!! Rocket Frog Divers utilizes 6 dive boats. The Pacific Express is unlike any other in the area. It features two 250HP V6 Yamaha 4 Stroke engines that allow us to visit our dive sites in a fraction of the time that it takes other dive companies. This proves especially worthwhile when you consider that some of the more popular dive sites in the region, the Bat Islands (Isle Murcileago) and the Catalinas Islands are several hour trips with other operators. The Pacific Express can make the voyage to the Catalinas in less than half an hour. The “Tiburon” or the shark is a shop build for small groups. This dive vessel is perfect for exploring local dive sites in the Gulf de Papagayo with a very small group. The Devil Ray is a dive acquired in 2015. It is a lot of room and comfort for our divers and also offers a deck for surface intervals and for the voyage to and from the dive sites.

We had a great experience with Rocket Frogs! This was my first trip to Costa Rica, and my first dive in 4 years. The staff was super knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable in the water. They were friendly and accommodating, very "go with the flow" which I loved. I would highly recommend them for your diving experience in the Coco Beach area

Awesome Bat Islands dive trip with instructor Charlie and divemaster Bea. Saw about 10 bull shark over the course the first dive, as well as plenty of other incredible fauna such as moray eel, nudibranch, huge schools of large fish (snapper / grouper?). During our second dive, we saw plenty of whitetip reef shark, nurse shark, etc. It's a unique spot to dive and see shark, and I really recommend the experience if you get the opportunity. Plus the pineapple they gave us on the boat was the sweetest I've ever tasted in my life :D

These guys are incredible!
Extremely pleasant, professional, punctual, and safety and comfort oriented!
Great facility, clean, changing area and bathrooms, fully stocked dive shop and free after dive beer!
The best point was the professional dive masters who went way beyond to
Make sure that the divers were safe and satisfied. A very beautiful dive master named Beatriz was fantastic in making sure that the divers were happy and safe, despite the fact that we were diving with wild untrained Massive Bull sharks! The briefing was very well
Done, and we paid attention and survived!
I can’t say enough very good things about this operation! If you get to playa de
Coco, call these guys
For a bucket list dive encourter’

Super professional - very kind lady came pick up at my hotel in Playa Flamingo and drove me to the beach where I met guides and other divers. Guides extremely nice and professional. Diving spot in Las Catalinas awesome.

We spent a week diving with Rocket Frog and had a wonderful experience. Charlie and Rama took great care of us. We had a new diver and they gave lots of advice and feedback during the week. Will definitely dive with Rocket Frog again in the future.

I loved the small boat and the divemasters! I hate to dive on a big boat with a lot of people. Our divemasters were Julia and Mike. They took great care of us. We dove locally in the bay. This was my first time to dive in the Pacific. I didn't know that there isn't a lot of coral in the Pacific due to cooler temperatures. We saw a lot of fish, eels, and a sea turtle on both dives. The only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 is that I felt a little taken advantage of with the pickup fee. I was told it would be $50 because our hotel was remote, but we dove right by our hotel. In spite of this, I highly recommend Rocket Frog Divers!

Everyone we had the pleasure of diving with was knowledgeable and fun. They truly made the experience unforgettable. We did two different dives and saw so much wildlife, including a sea turtle! On the boat and at the shop they provided cold drinks, fresh pineapple, and snacks. Everything was delicious. All of their equipment was new, and their boats were very accommodating. I highly recommend them on all fronts. I 100% recommend having your next dive with Rocket Frog Divers!

I dove with Rocket Frog as a tourist in 2016 due to a recommendation from my dive shop in the states. It was an awesome experience. Rocket Frog was top notch in everything they did. The diving was amazing. I loved seeing all the big stuff like Eagle Rays, Devil Rays, long tailed Sting Rays, Sharks, Turtles and the occasional whale shark along with the Giant Mantas. Humpback whales are icing on the cake especially to see them breach, spin and have that big splash upon landing back in the ocean. It was like being in heaven on earth and in the water. I loved it so much that I came back time after time and was never disappointed. Then something else amazing happened in my life and I unexpectedly had opportunity to retire early. After speaking with Mike (one of the owners), he was receptive to having me work at the dive shop. So I packed my bags and moved to Costa Rica. It’s such a beautiful country with a wide range of activities like hiking, paragliding, white water rafting, canyoning, skydiving and of course diving with Rocket Frog just to name a few of the things which I participated in during my time here.
I was already an SSI instructor but needed to become a PADI instructor. Naturally, the shop does more than just diving, they are a PADI 5 star shop that does practically every dive class you can imagine. So I became a PADI instructor thru Rocket Frog. Now it was on! Not only did I lead dives and learn all the dive sites along with learning an appreciation for the small stuff like Nudibranch, Seahorses, Snowflake eels, Zebra eels, Moray eels, frog fish and more sergeant major fish and puffer fish than you can possibly imagine, I also started teaching more classes than I would have ever imagined. Open water classes, rescue classes, Advanced classes, specialty classes and EFR classes. I learned how to teach and couldn’t get enough teaching. Rocket Frog is always trying to help their staff improve. Not only for the staff but also for the company but most importantly for the customer. I experienced customer service as a tourist but learning what it takes to truly be customer service oriented is the Rocket Frog specialty. So they helped me become a Staff Instructor. Training, customer service and diving really kicked in to high gear for me at this point. Meeting so many divers from all over the world with different stories and different levels of diving experience made being a dive professional even that much more rewarding. Mike has great vision and could see pushing me further to become a course Director was in my best interest. Although I was happy where I was, Mike knew that I was best suited to move up the ladder and I eventually agreed to become a Course Director. After a lot of encouragement from Rocket Frog and a lot of hard work on my part, I became a Course Director. Mikes vision for me became a reality. He knew that by pushing me to become the best I could be might cost him a staff member but Mike cares about people.
I am moving on now to another place that can utilize my Course Director talents but I will always be grateful to Mike for the experience he bestowed upon me, the encouragement he gave, an occasional talking too, the sharing of his wealth of knowledge to anyone that will listen and last but not least, the camaraderie.

We stayed at Villas Sol in Playa Hermosa. Our dive/hotel package included transportation each morning and afternoon to and from the hotel and Rocket Frog. There is a hotel within a stone's throw of Rocket Frog (its name I now forget) that would be extremely close for divers.

Yes he can. he is over 16 yrs of age, and since he is rescue cert., should not be a problem. If you have never dove Costa Rica before, it is not like Carribean diving. Vis not as good, thermo- clines are present and so are strong currents at times.
