    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Mali Mali, in Panama's Coiba National Park, offers a solid wall dive that’s usually a relaxed drift. We often see large schools of jacks here, sometimes even a passing reef shark cruising the blue. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy a gentle current and appreciate pelagic encounters.
