I discovered an absolute amazing calm and peaceful paradise for diving at Pixvae, Coiba in Panama!
Just in the middle of a nearly untouched national park there is that really small diving lodge, The Arc Divers.
The diving spots around Coiba are exceptionally beautiful, and there are not many others there (I didn't saw another diving boat in September 24). It is definitely and rightfully a place for advanced open water divers, because of the current and depth. But it is worth it!
I saw hammerheads, bullsharks, black tips and white tips in just 3 days. Also big schools of barracudas and some humpback whales. Of course also a lot of beautiful smaller fish.
They offer up to 3 dives per day with very good equipment. I felt safe with them at every moment. Such a nice and familiar atmosphere!
I will definitely go back there, it came to be one of my most favorite places in the world!

Thanks for the write up! I’ve been considering this as a possible dive trip with my wife and another couple.
I’m curious about the type of dives, as I’m not a big fan of drift dives, unless the are a mild drift. I like being able to stop and check things out without having to fight the current.
Also, one of our group is a non-diver. Are there many things for her to do on her own topside?
