Archipelago de Las Perlas

Archipelago de Las Perlas, located in the Gulf of Panama has roughly 90 islands, 130 islets, and cays, giving a diverse range of diving opportunities. The underwater landscape is varied, with fascinating rock formations and coral heads, as well as a variety of reef tropicals such as angelfish, parrotfish, and butterflyfish. Humpback whales are drawn in by strong currents and seasonal migrations. Because the majority of the islands are deserted, there are numerous beaches, shorelines, and shallow waters ideal for scuba diving. The Spanish Conquistadors named the islands from the abundance of pearls they discovered there. It is a diver's paradise on the Pacific side of Panama, in the Bay of Panama.

Diverse diving options abound, and several islands hide the waters from the ocean, making for a more relaxing dive. A dive site facing the ocean, on the other hand, will have rougher conditions; the ocean's currents will mix things up and create wonderful drift sites. On most days, you may dive into the clear water, don a mask, and watch schools of exotic fish and Manta rays swim by.
