about to board the dive boat in Parque Nacional Marino Ballena to Isla Caño.  The diving with Costa Rica Dive and Surf (based out of Dominical) was fantastic even in the rainy season.  When we surfaced from our dive there was a humpback whale and her calf only about a mile away. Even that couldn't compete with the early morning view on the beach!
Beautiful sunset in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. ST is in Puntarenas on the western coast.
