Description
There are over 15 dive sites that we do on a regular basis, and our
crew is constantly searching for new and interesting dive sites. Our captains and divemasters take pride in taking our guests to the best dive sites available, depending upon divers' wishes and weather conditions. Here are just some of the sites that make diving in Bocas a wonderful experience:
Hospital Point
Located just off the northwest corner of Isla Solarte, Hospital Point offers a dramatic backdrop to your dives. Topside, this is one of the most beautiful spots in the archipelago, but underwater is where the true beauty of Hospital Point can be observed. Enter the water in a shallow seagrass bed and swim a short distance to a vertical
mini-wall, encrusted with lettuce corals and teeming with tropical reef fish and a large assortment of both hard and soft corals, vase sponges, and encrusting sponges. One dramatic feature of this
site is an enormous rock outcropping which extends out over the reef,
providing shelter for schools of silversides.
The Playground
One of the closest sites to Bocas Town, The Playground starts with a
Town, The Playground starts with a shallow, sandy area that is covered
with pillow starfish, conch, sea cucumber, and other invertebrates. As
you approach the reef area, surgeonfish, parrotfish, damselfish and
other colorful reef fish begin to proliferate. The reef here is extremely
healthy and the reef structure provides a home for moray eels, spiny lobster, and channel clinging crabs. This area is also home to some of the biggest Barrel sponges in Bocas. Another feature of this site is an underwater cable that provides electricity to one of the neighboring islands. Following this cable can provide an interesting lesson in the different types of ecosystems found in the waters of Bocas del Toro.
