About Captain Jose Mendez in Playas del Coco.
My Dedication: In 2000, I worked for various hotel companies as a dive boat captain. Three years later, I became a certified PADI Dive Master in Rescue Diving. Years later, when tourism in Costa Rica was beginning to grow, I acquired a boat and started my own business from scratch. It was an uphill struggle, but it has been a blessing from God to this day, and I feel satisfied with our achievements and with my family. Now, sport fishing and making a living from my business, primarily through tourism—foreigners—are our careers, acquired through years of perseverance.
