Rocket Frog opened its doors in December<br \/>\nof 2011. Rocket Frog operates a purpose built dive vessel, \u201cThe Pacific Express\u201d which is the<br \/>\nfastest boat in the area. The Pacific Express uses twin 300 HP Yamaha outboard motors to power<br \/>\nits inflatable ribbed body through the waters of the Gulf de Papagayo with speed and comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Rocket Frog Divers has an ownership team that is incredibly involved in every aspect of the<br \/>\nbusiness. Michael, Nere, and Flaco form the team. If you go diving with Rocket Frog chances are<br \/>\nyou will see two if not three of the owners during your dive. This ensures you are treated with<br \/>\nthe best customer service and your questions and concerns are answered immediately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Dive Sites<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rocket Frog Divers specializes in three main areas of diving in the Costa Rican waters. The<br \/>\nCatalinas and the Bat Islands are the higher class diving areas where you are more likely to<br \/>\nsee the big ticket items such as the Giant Manta Rays (Catalinas) and Bull Sharks (Bat Islands).<br \/>\nThere is also of course the famous local diving done in the waters of the Gulf de Papagayo. You<br \/>\ncan really see any number of things during the dives here. From the occasional manta rays and<br \/>\nmore plentiful white tip reef sharks to clown shrimp and sea horses these rich waters have it all.<\/p>\n<p>Rocket Frog Divers will work with its customers to show them new dive sites (there are over 20<br \/>\nlocal dives sites) or their old favourites depending on their choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diving the Bat Islands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rocket Frog is the only dive shop in Costa Rica who is able to offer trips to the Bat Islands year<br \/>\nround. Our dive vessel is perfectly designed for handling these waters which can become quite<br \/>\nrough during the months from December until May.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scuba.cr\/bat-islands\/\">The Bat Islands<\/a> are famous for the possibility of encountering the often feared <a href=\"https:\/\/scuba.cr\/the-bull-shark\/\">bull shark<\/a>. It is<br \/>\na protected area of Costa Rica which is located just off the coast of Santa Rosa National Park.<br \/>\nBeing protected has served the area well, as you will see massive schools of big fish and rays<br \/>\nthat frequent these waters that you will not see at any other dive sites in Costa Rica. Rocket Frog<br \/>\ncan take you to and from the Bat Islands in half of the time that any other dive shop in the area<br \/>\ncan (45 to 60 minutes) due to our dive vessel and our location.<\/p>\n<p>Starting in May of 2013, Rocket Frog will also begin offering two day excursions where divers<br \/>\nwill have the opportunity to complete five dives and spend one night camping in the National Park.<br \/>\nThese dives are generally only for experienced divers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diving The Catalinas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rocket Frog also loves taking its customers to the beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/scuba.cr\/catalina-island-costa-rica\/\">Catalina Islands<\/a>. The Catalinas are<br \/>\nbest known by divers for the Pacific Giant Mantas which are often found feeding in the area.<br \/>\nThe waters are also rich with several other species of rays, sharks, eels and big schools of fish.<br \/>\nRocket Frog Divers makes this trip in approximately half an hour from our location at <a href=\"https:\/\/scuba.cr\/category\/areas\/guanacaste\/ocotal\/\">Playa<br \/>\nOcotal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rocket Frog Divers also offers snorkelling options as well as sunset snorkelling tours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact
