Coiba Dive Center

Coiba Marine Park, considered one of the ten top diving spots in the world, is home to the second largest coral reef in the Eastern Pacific and the best diving "to be found along the Pacific Coast from Columbia to Mexico" according to Lonely Planet.

The island's abundant marine and terrestial flora is a delight to nature lovers. Scarlet macaws nest here and humpback whales are seen frequently.  

 Coiba National Park, off the southwest coast of Panama, protects Coiba Island, 38 smaller islands and the surrounding marine areas within the Gulf of Chiriqui. Protected from the cold winds and effects of El Niño, Coiba’s Pacific tropical moist forest maintains exceptionally high levels of endemism of mammals, birds and plants due to the ongoing evolution of new species. The property is an outstanding natural laboratory for scientific research and provides a key ecological link to the Tropical Eastern Pacific for the transit and survival of pelagic fish and marine mammals.

Depending on the time of year you can have the opportunity to dive with some of natures most majestic creatures like whale sharks, giant mantas and humpback whales. White tip reef sharks join you on just about every dive.

Coiba is not well known so you can still have the chance to be one of the pioneers and see why Coiba is Central Americas best diving secret.
