We are a PADI dive resort located in the small town of Santa Catalina in Panama. From here, our boat goes to Coiba National Park, which is where we do our diving.
Our trips
We run trips on a daily basis. The boat usually leaves between 8 and 8.30 in the morning and comes back at about 4.30. The ride to the island takes about one hour and thirty minutes. We do two or three dives a day, depending on what you prefer, and sometimes weather conditions. The diving/snorkeling sites are located in Coiba National Park, which covers a series of beautiful islands, including Coiba, Isla Rancheria, Canales, Jicaron, Jicarita and the area of Contreras. We stop for a short lunch break at the rangers station on Coiba, where you have the opportunity to eat and sometimes see some wild monkeys, ñeques (little rodent-like creatures), iguanas and amazing bird life, or on one of the other beautiful beaches.
What you can see
As for the underwater world, among other things you can see white-tipped reef sharks, nurse sharks, turtles, dolphins, eagle rays, devil rays, sting rays, lobsters, sea horses, frog fish, schools if jacks, blue-fin trevallies, barracudas, moray eels, wahoos, snappers and of course lots of colourful butterflyfish and parrotfish.
