A month ago, towards the end of our stay in Panama we took a trip to Santa Catalina so Daryl could spend a day diving. It took a while to get the pictures together but here goes.
It was about a five hour drive from Pedasi, and so very much worth it.
After some research, Daryl decided to go with the Panama Dive Centre.
Now I would say this boat is far too small for me to go out into the ocean. Guess that is one of the reasons I am not diving:)
The story goes that four Whale Sharks were seen that day. Apparently that is an amazing number for one day. Daryl said they are a good 20 feet in length.
A good belly shot.
The whale sharks were the highlight of the day, but not the only creatures seen. This is a White Tip Shark.
Another White Tip Shark
My personal favourite is the Hawksbill Turtle.
Moorish Idol
A very nice beach to spend your surface interval time.
And then it is time to go under water again.
A porcupine fish.
Star fish
Even the coral is beautiful.
Another favourite of mine is this Frog Fish, just look at that mouth….. I thought for sure it was a piece of coral.
And last, but not least, this yellow Sea Horse
Santa Catalina is definitely a beautiful place to visit, whether you are in the water or watching a sunrise.
For sure warrants another visit.
Cheers
