Diving at La Buga was great! It was my first time diving and I went for the Open Water Certification. I was really nervous at first but Tony was really patient with me and didn't mind if it took me a few tries to do something. He has a really fun attitude that makes the whole experience great! He also has tons of experience so he can answer any question! Definitely would recommend La Buga!

Tony was our dive master assisted by Leon. We had three new discovery divers who enjoyed their first dive. The shoreside facilities were great. The dive boat platform is a tri-catamaran which made for a stable ride and ease of water entry and exit. There is plenty of room for people and gear. The quality of the dive center should be 5 stars. They have good quality gear which looked to be in good shape.
If your looking for a great dive, speak with Tony and you will not be disappointed. He is able to communicate effectively and is an excellent instructor. This is a must for a dive operator. I will return to La Buga for my next Bocas Dive trip.

Surfing or diving, this is the place to go. Tony is great and was super responsive to all of my emails and questions. I took surfing lessons from John and he was nice and patient. Highly recommend.
