Coiba Dive Center is located in the heart of Santa Catalina, Panama, just a one-hour boat ride to world class diving. Coiba National Park has been described by many as the "New Galapagos" and the "New Cocos," Isla Coiba is by far the best diving Panama has to offer.
Day Tours
Wildlife abounds under Coiba’s waters. Amongst many other amazing animals, we see White Tip Reef Sharks (Guaranteed for all 3 tank divers), Whale Sharks, Humpback Whales, Mobula and Giant Mantas, Frogfish, Seahorses, Turtles, tons of Eels and much more.

I hadn’t gone scuba diving in over a year and instructor Kat did a great job guiding the dive! We saw a whale shark, tons of fishes and it was an absolute 10/10!!!

We had a really nice day on the boat with juli! Really nice dives, she shows a lot and the breaks on the little coiba islands are great. Whales and dolphins on the way!
Even booked a second day diving.
Only thing it's a long boat ride from santa catalina to Coiba 1 hour +. But I live on Bonaire and spoiled with diving from shore.
Would love to come back in whale shark season.
Special thanks to Justin, for being my patners private dive buddy :)
All the best Robert & Madelaine
