About Tortilla
Tortilla is a shallow dive site on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula near Santa Teresa and Mal País, built on complex rubble and rock rather than coral. The site has enough relief to hold invertebrates, small reef fish, and regular shark-and-ray interest, while staying compact enough for a wide range of diver experience. It is a straightforward local-boat dive where buoyancy and visibility matter more than depth.
