How is Costa Rica different than Belize or other C

I dove just about everywhere I could think of in the Caribbean, but I have never been to Costa Rica. How is the diving in Costa Rica different from places like Belize or Bonaire?

Can you recommend a great dive resort in Costa Rica? How do I find which is best?

Thanks,

The first question you need to answer is which pond do you want to swim in? Atlantic or Pacific?

I have only been diving at Cocos Island in Costa Rica, which is way way different from Belize. You do that only with a liveaboard boat (Aggressor or Undersea/Sea Hunter).

I did notice, however, that the infrastructure on land is pretty much made for tourism. Its the eco-tourism capital of the world, and so, from my interpretation, while everything is beatiful, you aren't there for the Costa Rican culture but the tourism culture.
