| ITINERARY DIVE TRIPS WITH OVERNIGHT STAYS TO COIBA 2006 - THE ULTIMATE DIVING ADVENTURE IN PANAMA |
| IN THIS PAGE WE ARE PUBLISHING THE PLANNED DIVE TRIPS FOR TWO OR MORE DAYS TO THE COIBA NATIONAL PARK FOR YOUR INFORMATION. OF COURSE WE ARE ACCEPTING ANY OTHER DATES CONVENIENT FOR YOUR GROUP. PLEASE ALSO NOTE, THAT A PUBLISHED TRIP CAN BE CANCELLED WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE. IN ADDITION TO THIS ITINERARY WE ARE OF COURSE OFFERING DAILY DIVE TRIPS TO COIBA OR OTHER DIVE SITES AROUND SANTA CATALINA. THE MULTIPLE DAYS TRIPS TO COIBA REQUIRE SOME EXPERIENCE ABOVE BEGINNER LEVEL AND OFFER UP TO 3 DIVES A DAY ALSO TO REMOTE SITES WHICH CANNOT BE REACHED IN ONE DAY TRIPS. THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE DIVING ADVENTURE IN PANAMA Typical schedule for diving adventures for 2 or more days: .) day 1 - meeting at the dive center of Scuba Coiba in Santa Catalina at 08:00 am leaving to Coiba, first dive late morning lunch at the Coiba ranger station or beach pick-nick, second (and third) dive in the afternoon dinner and night at the ranger station .) day 2 - breakfast at the ranger station, usually 2 dives in the morning, lunch, one dive in the afternoon and either back to the ranger station for dinner and accommodation in case of diving trips for more than 2 days or back to Santa Catalina in case of 2 day trips .) day 3 - like day 2 what should I know, what should I bring? Coiba and also Santa Catalina are in very remote areas and many "normal" things have to be brought from outside. IN our multi day trips we have to bring all the food, ice, gasoline for the boat and diesel for the generator in Coiba plus the cook from outside too. In Sta. Catalina are no super markets, ATM´s nor telephones. Normal things like sun blocker, towels, mosquito repellent etc. just are not available here. Please get everything you might need including cash money from Santiago, what is the last bigger city before turning "south". There is absolutely nothing to buy in Coiba. We provide full board on multi day trips including non alcoholic beverages. If you have any diets or special needs or requests please let us know in advance. If you would like some alcohol, cigaretts, etc. please make sure to bring them. Photo and Video: there have been problems and discussions with filming videos several times in the past. Though the rules are clear now and filming for private use should be no problem and free of fees, please let us know, if your main purpose is to film in Coiba, under or above water. For professional / commercial filming and picture taking you should apply for a permit at least 14 days prior to your planned stay. You also should apply for one, if you are filming for private use only but are using a very professional looking video equipment. We gladly assist you in this process.
