Scuba Diving Las Catalinas, Costa Rica
A compilation video of my first five months of diving at Las Catalinas, Costa Rica. Over this period of time, not only did I experience these indescribable moments, but I completed my Divemaster certification, completed the Instructor Development Course, and successfully passed the Instructor Exam. A huge hug to all of those at Scuba Dive Costa Rica for the immense support and positive vibes.
