PANAMA DIVE SCHOOL

Panama Dive School was founded by Tony, who spent over ten years commercial diving in the Gulf of Mexico before deciding to share his love of the sport. Based on the waterfront in Bocas del Toro, Panama, this PADI Dive Resort is built around one simple passion: teaching people of all ages to dive comfortably and confidently.

With its own house reef right at the doorstep and a dive boat for reaching sites further afield, the school makes it easy to get in the water. Explore local spots such as Casablanca, Bouy Line, Pandora, Airport Point, Sashen and Barco Viejo, where you might encounter sharks, turtles, rays, eels, molluscs and crustaceans, colourful corals, anemones and plenty of ocean fish.

Instruction is offered in both English and Spanish, and the centre provides air fills along with onsite accommodation. Whether you're a first-timer or a returning diver, it's a welcoming, hands-on base for discovering the reefs of the Caribbean coast.
