About this site
Coral Cay is a dive site about a 20 minute boat ride to the southeast side of Isla Bastimentos in Bocas del Toro, Panama. It is sometimes called Crawl Cay and is a small islet surrounded by mangroves.
The islet is a frequent snorkel spot for day trips, but there is very little boat traffic at the actual dive site, which is protected with a boundary of buoys.
Depth and who it suits. Maximum depth is 60 ft (18 m), and the site is open to all skill levels. It is a good dive for beginner to intermediate divers.

The site has small but vibrant coral and a variety of sea sponge. In the shallows you can find small reef fish, giant jellyfish and maybe a barracuda or two.
