El Porton - Coiba National Park

El Porton offers a relaxed dive along a sloping reef, suitable for less experienced divers or those looking for a gentle second dive. You’ll typically spot whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy patches and schools of snapper moving through the coral. It’s a good spot to slow down and observe smaller critters hiding in the crevices. We often encounter green turtles here too, grazing on the shallower sections.
