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.

DM
Everything was perfect ! From the welcoming attesting of Julie, the owner; the kindness and expertise of our DM, Ivan; how funny and good people were our captain and skipper; the tow ladies at the kitchen... So, in general, everything was as expected, or better! Thank you very much.
