The Indo-Pacific current through the Gulf of Chiriqui provides a very unique dive environment.  The warm current brings with it coral and many of the pacific tropical underwater life that you would not expect on the Pacific Coast of the Americas.  Also with it come the larger fish/mammals such as humpback whales, sharks, whale sharks, orcas and more.  Combine this with the fact that Coiba is the beginning of the underwater Cordilera mountain chain that also includes Coco's and the Galapagos.  This makes for a unique
dive experience that you shouldn't miss.  We dive the Pacific Coast of
Panama and Coiba National Park (one of the newest World Heritage Sites).
