El Cholo - Coiba National Park

El Cholo offers a decent drift dive, often with a good push from the current. We’ve seen white-tip reef sharks cruising through the blue and plenty of schooling fish. It’s a solid pick for divers comfortable with current, looking for pelagic action in Coiba. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, it’s a rewarding site.
