Enjoy your time in between scuba diving Coiba, on Panama's pacific coast in laid back Santa Catalina.

Black sand beach in Santa Catalina, Panama

A laid-back Panamanian fishing village

Santa Catalina is famous for its world-class surf breaks and as the best jumping-off point for Coiba National Park. It's the perfect destination to catch waves, dive with whale sharks, or relax on empty, black-sand beaches.

Scuba Coiba was the first dive center in Santa Catalina, serving divers looking for world class diving in Coiba National Park since 2003. Other activities are local boat tours to virgin beaches, surfing, hiking on top of Isla Santa Catalina, yoga, massages, horseback riding and birding.
