Miscellaneous Santa Catalina

Santa Catalina has been absolutely incredible. I could live here. In fact point at pretty much anywhere in Panama and I'd probably quite happily live there too.

Under The Sea

You can tell by the plethora of dive shops in Santa Catalina that making bubbles under the sea is the done thing here, or more specifically an hour boat ride away at Coiba National Park. I wasn't sure what to expect, I'd been told the diving was worth the eye-watering price tag but to be [...]
