Panama Scuba Diving Tours

< other tours  |  start planning your trip  |  vacation packages >

Enjoy a morning wreck dive near the bay of Portobelo, the burial place of Sir Francis Drake and one of the most important cities in the world during the Spaniard's conquest of the new world.

Visit the ruins of this obscure location virtually before tourism has yet to find it. The inhabitants of Portobelo live as they always have with their homes built up against the ruins of the old conquistadors' fortresses.

History is alive here and you can almost feel the presence of the conquistadors' ghosts as our guide spins tales of the history of Portobelo. Another attraction is the statue of the Black Christ, which washed ashore after a ship wreck and is now enshrined in a local church. Sir Francis Drake is buried at sea near Drake's Island where many a hopeful diver has no doubt searched for the famous lead coffin. 

Includes:  Boat ride, boat operator, dive master, lunch bag and soft drinks, two tanks, weights.  Transfer back to the city in the afternoon.
