Costa Rica - Osa Peninsula - Cano Island

Hi all,

My wife and I are thinking of going to Costa Rica in January and diving Cano
Island, off of Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula. As you know, diving is very
equipment intensive. I hear things about a 25 pounds weight limit. I
definitely need to bring mycomputer, u/v video and case and mask, (very
strong prescription bifocal.) I would also like to bring my flood light if
possible. I'd like to take all my own equipment, but I could live with
renting the rest if necessary. My wife wants her regs.

This is something we've been talking about for years, but we always get
stopped by the weight thing and questions about the season to go. We don't
want get rained out or stuck in the mud. Does anyone have any knowledge of
diving Cano or seeing the wildlife on the Osa? We've dived in many places,
but this seems the most confusing. I'd love to hear from someone who has
experience diving there.

We're also planning on spending some time seeing the cloud forest and
Arenal, probably in a rented vehicle. Any advice would be appreciated.
