Snorkeling & Scuba Diving

Panama Divers, based out of Portobelo, can put together a day excursion from Isla Grande (reservations required). On Isla Grande, there is the certified and locally run Isla Grande Dive Center (tel. 6501-4374; www.buceoenpanama.com) that offers scuba diving and snorkeling, with lodging on the island or round-trip transportation from Panama City. All hotels and cabins on Isla Grande contract this company for diving and snorkeling. The Dive Center has snorkel rental, too, for $6.
