cute little spot that was great food and watched scuba lessons taking place at the end of the dock. Lovely!

When I look for a dive center, I expect professionalism (feel secure), friendly staff and a relaxing environment, I have to say that “La buga” exceeded all my expectations. These guys are doing a great job!. I went diving with my wife, and both left Bocas already planning our next trip to the island and of course our next diving... More

Well all the dive shops looked much alike with not much to choose between them. We went with La Buga. Everything was good, friendly staff, good equipment, had a fun day. But then we realized something, Everything in Bocas is all about sustainable tourism and eco tourism. Every single one of the staff at La Buga was a foreigner -... More

We did 4 dives over 2 days and had a great experience. The Gardens was our favorite dive. Kira was very prompt in responding to our email inquiry and answered a couple of additional emails before we arrived. We really appreciated this communication. No other dive shop responded to our inquiries. The coral was nice and the sea horses were... More

Hands down, the worst meal we had in three weeks traveling through Panama. We waited an hour to get two beers and two hamburgers and an awful spinach pita. The hamburger was completely raw in the middle and we could not eat it. The pita sandwhich was also disgusting. It was also completely overpriced. They should stick to their dive... More

As an inexperienced diver, I was very happy with our two-tank dive from La Buga. It wasn't the most challenging dive in the world (45 feet max, no current), which was perfect for my level. There were only three of us to one instructor, which was great as she was able to help me with some of my rookie mistakes... More

I have never dived here, but ate here at least twice a week during my stay in Bocas del Toro. The food is not great, but the setting is. It is a cozy and is a beautiful place where you can relax quietly, or meet up with friends for drinks. The wait staff is extremely hospitable and accomodating! The sunset... More
