If you prefer your adventures to be underwater then the seas around Panama and Nicaragua should certainly be on your bucket-list. Home to a number of vast and important coral reefs, historic shipwrecks and marine diversity to rival almost anywhere in the world, scuba diving has never been more popular in this part of the world.
There are some wonderful dive spots off both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, as well as freshwater sites such as the Apoyo Lagoon. Visibility is usually good and the seas are rich with turtles, rays, sharks, whales and countless species of fish, so you’ll rarely be disappointed once you strap your tank on.
At Vapues Travel, we work with some of the top dive schools and operators across both Nicaragua and Panama, as well as a selection of perfectly located hotels and resorts where you can rest up after a long day exploring the underwater world.
Take a look at some of our favourite diving destinations and experiences.
