Santa Catalina & Isla Coiba, Panama · Dive Center
Plan this trip with AI →Set in the heart of Santa Catalina, Coiba Dive Center puts you just a one-hour boat ride from what many consider the best diving in Panama. Coiba National Park has earned comparisons to the "New Galapagos" and the "New Cocos" — a chance to explore one of the last virgin dive destinations in Central America, at the Canales and Contreras dive sites.
As a PADI Resort with four PADI Instructors, the centre delivers a highly personalised experience, matching each dive to your skill level and preference. Five on-site dive professionals bring a combined total of over 60 years of diving between them, so beginners and seasoned divers alike are in capable hands.
The waters here teem with sharks, whales, turtles, rays, eels, ocean fish, corals and more. On land you'll find an onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi, a dive boat, parking and equipment rental, with staff speaking English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
