Hey Laura, unfortunately I can’t comment on that — I’ve only been to Coiba once, and it was in January. I’d get in touch with your dive shop and see if they can reassure you. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

We are kind of freaked out by weather forecast. Is this a terrible idea this time of year?

Thanks Amy. It’s amazing I ended up with even one photo from that dive, ha.

I’m amazed at your amount of self control to be able to soothe yourself in such tricky conditions! Great job. I also adore that photo of the blowfish! x

Ugh, leaky masks are the worst! I always bring my own snorkel set when I’m heading somewhere tropical to avoid those kind of disasters!

Only a snorkeler at this point though. My first snorkeling experience years back was pretty awful though…. Goggles fogging and leaking while my snorkel was taking in water. NOT a good combo.

I’m definitely with you. In general I’m a chilled out diver. However sometimes those adrenaline pumping experiences are too hard to turn down — this trip most definitely included!

Ha, they do look like torpedoes. They are, however, just barracudas 🙂
