About this site
Isla Frijoles is a dive around a small island at Coiba in Panama, the tip of which is visible from the boat.
Depending on the current the dive runs clockwise or counterclockwise around the island over a sandy bottom. Sharks are encountered both in the shallows and in deeper water. The shoals of snappers, machetes and jacks gather most on the open ocean side of the island. On the reef itself you sometimes find scorpionfish, frogfish and octopus.
