The Gulf of Chiriquí is one of the least explored and richest marine ecosystems on the planet, and scuba divers are literally spoilt for choice.

Or head to the celebrated Coiba National Park, where the waters have been protected for centuries. Add to that wildlife kayaking, swooping over coral with a seabob, and fascinating talks on marine conservation, and you’ll know you just have to come back.
