Panama has great diving. Should you be in Bocas del Toro & want some peace & quiet go to Islas Bastimentos & dive with Scuba 6 Diving; www.scuba6diving with Roberto. We had some nice dives with Roberto who is very safety conscious & knows his dive sites. Interested in courses? He's also multi-lingual & works out of Tio Tom's Guest House which is a nice place to stay on the water.
Interested in the Pacific side of Panama? Go to Santa Catalina & dive with Coiba Dive Center; www.coibadivecenter.com, sharks guaranteed, of course the Pacific side has different fish than the Caribbean. At certain times of the year there's the whale migrations that come through. The diving is similar to the Galapagos, a little cooler & wonderful current which is great for divers from BC, Canada!
