About Escorpiones
Escorpiones is a boat-access shallow ledge in Guanacaste's Coco Bay / Papagayo circuit. Rocky patches and adjacent sand make it a good slow-search dive: work the crevices for small life, then scan the sand for rays, sharks, and the site's noted seahorses and turtles. It is best on calm days, with shallow water, easy entries, and enough structure to keep a beginner-friendly profile interesting.
