Explore the untouched wonders of Coiba,
Panama.
Ready for big fish diving?
Join us in 2026 for an exclusive liveaboard diving experience in Coiba National Park, Panama. 38 remote islands to explore, and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Have you ever heard of Coiba?
No? That is completely normal; it is a rather unknown island just off the coast of Panama but precisely this fact ensures that you can still find spots here where you are completely alone.
Moreover, Coiba is part of the Galapagos migration triangle. This means that during the right season, hamerhead sharks and whale sharks migrate from Galapagos to this region, drawn by breeding grounds and rich plankton blooms.
Are you an advanced open water diver?
Are you tired of overcrowded liveaboard diving trips?
Are you looking for a unique holiday experience?
Choose your 3 favorite dive buddies for this dive trip; we only take 4 guests on board Blowing Bubbles. Enjoy our private service and the flexibility of a small group. Determine the daily (dive) schedule together with us.
Your accommodation on the ocean
Aboard Blowing Bubbles, board our stylish and fully equipped catamaran, discover the wild beauty of one of the unique marine parks in the Eastern Pacific.
Wake up to the sound of the ocean in a spacious private cabin. Enjoy your morning coffee on the flybridge, then dive straight into adventure from our large dive deck. Or hop into our fast and comfortable dinghy, perfect for drift dives in remote spots and exploring the islands.
About Coiba
The Nationaal Park Coiba is one of the largest nature reserves in Panama. Covering an area of over 2,700 square kilometers, it includes Coiba Island—located off the southern coast of the Veraguas province—along with 38 smaller islands. The park is generally recognized as comprising three distinct ecosystems: the islands, the fish populations, and the coral reefs. In 2005, the park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Omdat het eiland geïsoleerd is van het vasteland, bevinden zich er een aantal edemische soorten zoals de Coiba Brulaap, de agoeti en verschillende vogelsoorten.
No crowds, no rush, just you, the ocean, and the magic of Coiba.
We anchor in sheltered bays and dive at a variety of sites. Are you ready for large schools of fish, sharks, rays, and pristine coral reefs? These advanced-level dives are waiting for you. During your surface interval, unwind with peace and quiet, delicious meals, a good book, cocktails on the front deck — or, if you’ve still got energy, a bit of adventure on our stand-up paddle board.
Embrace the relaxed luxury that only a small-group charter can offer.
Dive locations
We will dive the following locations:
Bahia Honda
Rancheria
Isla Canales de Afuera

This is a selection of top locations in the region. Depending on the conditions on sit (surge, current or visibility) we can decide to dive another location. Several of the mentioned locations are sea mounts so being able to descent comfortably in the blue is a must.
