Scuba Panama

With more than 40 years in the Panamanian market, SCUBAPANAMA is a family dive shop that has become a fixture of the local scene in Panama City. As a PADI 5 Star Dive Center with 16 PADI Instructors, it pairs decades of experience with the resources to teach at every level — a dive store backed by its own pool and classrooms, plus a water sports center, cabins, restaurant and a private island in Portobelo, Colón.

Courses and dive trips

Training runs from first-timers to certified divers: PADI Discover Scuba Diving from USD 300 and PADI Open Water Diver from USD 368, alongside PADI Enriched Air Diver from USD 420 and a PADI Scuba Refresher from USD 80. What sets Panama apart is its two coasts — you can join a Full-Day Dive Trip to the Atlantic Ocean from USD 190 or to the Pacific Ocean from USD 250.

Underwater you might encounter sharks, whales, turtles, rays and corals. With English and Spanish spoken, equipment sales and a dive boat on hand, it suits new and returning divers alike.
