La Buga Dive & Surf

It all began as a routine supply stop for PADI Instructor Ricardo Porras. Taken in by the positive island vibes and exceptional dive conditions he decided to set up shop. In November 2007, with the help of close friend Diego Florez, they built and renovated La Buga Dive Center & Adventures.
Backed by many years experience working for and operating dive centers, they established high standards for equipment and service to provide the best range of customized dive experiences Bocas has to offer.
Then in 2009 we decided we wanted to surf every day and not feel guilty about it, so we seted up the surf school. We already had the boats, we bought a bunch of boards, hired a very cool surf instructor and here we are, surfing and diving everyday!!!

Zapatillas' Dive Club

We are glad to offer our own diving tours and PADI courses at Al Natural. We are taking small groups of divers to the protected reefs around Zapatillas Cays in the National Marine Park. Also, there are many nearby reefs inside the lagoon, including the very colorful soft coral gardens at Crawl Cay, and the large reefs on the open sea side of the island of Bastimentos, just behind the resort, where you can enjoy many immpresive wall dives and cave explorations. The lagoon in front of Al Natural offers very enjoyable and safe waters to practice the PADI courses.
We are the only dive operator in the archipelago of Bocas del Toro who offers those dives regurlarly and who offers them at a competititve price due to our location, as we are far away from Bocas but closer to the best dive sites and the Bastimentos Marine National Park. More remote trips to the famous Tiger Rock are also offered.
All diving tours and courses are given by Ms. Nicole Schutzler, PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and Emergency First Respond & CPR Instructor, with specialty certifications for Nitrox/enriched air diving, and digital underwater photography.
