Black Rock - Hawaii

Don Juan is one of our favourites in Coiba, especially for those looking to build confidence without sacrificing the good stuff. It’s a shallow spot, topping out around 14 metres, with wide sandy channels flanking the reef. This layout is brilliant; you can drift along the sand, keeping an eye on your buoyancy, while still having a full, unobstructed view of the coral action. We’ve found the visibility here to be pretty reliable, often around 10-12 metres, which is plenty to watch the schools of bigeye jacks swirl through the water, a shimmering, silver curtain. Look closely among the corals for cheeky chameleon clinids and the subtle beauty of a Margarita blenny peeking out. You’ll often spot vibrant Pacific red snappers and Cortez chubs darting in and out of the reef. Don Juan is a gentle introduction to Coiba's buzzing reefs, perfect for a relaxed dive where you can truly soak it all in.
