Capurganá Diving & Snorkeling

Buceo en Capurganá

Coral reef dive sites at the junction of the Caribbean and Darién coasts, with sea turtles, parrotfish, and soft corals. You can take a PADI certification course or try a dive.

The village has several dive centers offering try-dives, PADI Open Water courses, and boat dives. Most dive sites are on the reefs off Sapzurro and Aguacate Bay, at depths of 5 to 25 meters. Common sightings include soft corals, sea fans, parrotfish, sea turtles, and moray eels. A try-dive costs about 200,000 to 300,000 pesos, and snorkeling tours are cheaper. Because the area is remote, equipment and spots are limited, so book ahead during peak season.
