Costa Rica Summer Camps: Scuba Diving

After two amazing weekends in February, Wonder Away is excited to bring an even more immersive scuba-focused camp this April! Expanding to a 3-5 day adventure, this camp offers teens the chance to explore the underwater world. Whether you’re looking to get PADI certified, try scuba for the first time, or refresh your diving skills, this is the ultimate Costa Rica summer camps for teens who love adventure, learning, and making unforgettable memories!

What’s new for April? This time, campers can choose their own adventure! Whether you’re looking to get PADI certified, refresh your diving skills, try scuba for the first time, or stick to snorkeling, there’s an option for everyone. We will also offer e-foil and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for kids who want to stay above the water.


On our scuba dives, we’ll explore vibrant underwater ecosystems, swimming alongside white-tip reef sharks, manta rays, octopuses, massive schools of fish, and more! All while making new friends and unforgettable memories.

With two weeks to choose from — April 7-11 & April 14-18 — this is the perfect chance to experience one of the best spring break camps for teens. Whether you’re looking for an exciting getaway or a way to build new skills, our Costa Rica summer camps offer the adventure of a lifetime!


This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, as Wonder Away hosts the only scuba camp for teens in the area.

Looking Back: February Camp Recap

Our February camps were a huge success, with 15 teens joining us for two action-packed weekends. New friendships were made, and many tried exciting activities for the first time—including scuba diving, surfing, and sailing! It was incredible to see the confidence and excitement grow with each adventure.

 

But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what some of our campers had to say:

It’s amazing how Wonder Away takes your weekend from ordinary to wonderful. They have many amazing activities. We dived with them and it was wonderful.
– Dylan

Wonderful Team! Highly professional, dedicated, and very caring. My 15-year-old son, Gal, has had an amazing time at the camps. Excellent job, Wonder Away!

My daughter came back so happy—adventures, friends, and an amazing experience!! Highly recommended!!! We’re coming back!
