What our customers say
Amazing experience - Dive Base Coiba is the best dive shop in Panama. Kevan Mantell is a true professional and his attention to detail and safety is at the highest level it... read more can be. The area we dove in the Coiba National Park was rich with sealife and we saw just an amazing variety of species, including octopus, turtles, spotted rays, stingrays, shark, barracuda, huge lobsters and thousands of reef fish as well as Kevan pointing out smaller sealife that is still unknown to me. A great adventure for myself and my wife and two friends. As newly certified divers Kevan was patient with us and very safetyk conscious. His pre-dive briefs were thourough and made sure we were not diving above our experience level. He passed on two sites because of current issues. We were happy to move on to other sites that made our diving a better experience for our level of certification. We made six dives over three days. Louis, also an experienced diver, came with us on all the dives and was quite helpful to us. The boat captain was knowledgeable about the area and was always where he was suppose to be when we surfaced. Radio and first aid kits and oxygen were on the boat, a simple panga, and we took our surface intervals on pristine beaches where we ate lunch and relaxed and snorkeled. Pixvae, the location of the dive shop and our accommodations, is a small pueblo of 300 and very basic. But if you are into diving in an area of excellence with a dive master that is a professional, this is the place and dive shop for you. Thank you Kevan! KZ
