Dive Base Coiba, in Pixvae, Panama, is your premier gateway for scuba diving in Coiba National Park and the
Contreras Archipelago, just 20 minutes away.

As the first dive center and PADI Dive Resort in Pixvae, we are pioneers in bringing professional diving to this unique corner of the Pacific.

Explore one of the world’s most impressive marine ecosystems in a safe, welcoming environment. Located at the closest and least crowded access point to Coiba, we are consistently among the first dive centers to reach the sites offering quieter dives, pristine conditions, and frequent encounters with sharks and vibrant marine life. With premium Scubapro and XDEEP equipment and a passionate, professional team, every dive is intentional, responsible, and full of the ocean’s true spirit—making each underwater experience unforgettable.

Our story began with our founder, whose work helped establish Coiba as a National Park and identify many of its iconic dive sites. We continue contributing to scientific research and marine conservation projects that protect the park and its
wildlife. Every time you dive with us, you become part of that mission— and experience Coiba the right way.

From your very first breath underwater to the next step in your dive training, we’re ready to take you on an unforgettable
journey to discover the best of Coiba and Contreras!

See you under the sea!
