Underwater fun



An hour and a half by boat from Santa Catalina is Coiba Island. The largest island in Central America. From 1919 until 2004 Coiba was home to a prison therefore access to the island was restricted. Because of this, the islands natural resources have survived almost untouched.
We snorkled in two locations just off the Northern tip of the island, and it was some of the best snorkling that I have ever done. We saw multiple species of fish, too numerous to count, swam with turtles and even got to hang with a couple of white tip sharks, who despite being smaller than Jaws still move in that 'sharky' kinda way.
