Why dive here
With 175+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, dolphins, humpback whales, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Scuba Coiba offers some of Bocas del Toro's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Scuba Coiba in Bocas del Toro is one of those sites that quietly delivers. We’ve found the real draw here is the unexpected variety in the smaller stuff. Keep an eye peeled for the Dwarf Tonguefish, often blending so well with the sand you’ll need a sharp eye, or the Gaudy Frog Shell tucked away in crevices. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro, and a nice change of pace if you're looking beyond the usual reef fish.
