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.

My daughter and I had a great day diving out at Coiba Island. We were very happy with this dive center. Good professional care. Great dive sites. We saw turtles, white tip reef sharks, eels, even frog fish, and huge schools of fish.

We had an amazing experience, Julie the owner is just great, everything is accurate and really organize. And our guide Ivan, just outstanding, so calm and so into the work. He knows the place, the current and how everything is good for each guest, so for me was a 10/10! Thanks for such a great two days of diving!
Because of the season we could see mantas or whale shark not even hammer head sharks, so we definitely coming back!! jajaj! Much more to see in this amazing Coiba National Park!
