Galapagos diving & Panama

If you have been on a liveaboard for Galapagos SCUBA diving you’ll certainly want to put Panama on your next-to-visit dive vacation destination.

While we don’t have the strange creatures on land, diving at Coiba in Panama offers a few big advantages with the Galapagos.

  • Proximity
    Traveling to Panama City takes almost have the time as a flight to Quito. And when you’re in Quito, you still need to take a flight with a local airline to get to the Galapagos which usually means an extra night hotel
  • Comfort & equipment
    No diving liveaboard in the Galapagos offers the comfort and equipment as the Balboa Explorer.  For advanced and technical divers, nitrox diving, the options at the Galapagos are limited.
