Scuba Diving with the MV Yemaya

The Cocos Island of Costa-Rica, the Malpelo Island of Colombia and the Coiba Island of Panama are all UNESCO world heritage sites. Most noteworthy is that they are part of the same submerged mountain chain as the famous Galapagos Islands are.

Considering the area they dive, the Tropical Eastern Pacific Islands and the changing conditions in water, the Yemaya proudly boasts to always put security first. Indeed, that’s how it should always be when scuba diving, but this dive vessel makes it even more important. Of course, the dive masters and guides are highly experienced and they will assist you in this adventure. Finally, the Yemaya is equipped with all the latest scuba diving technologies and the diving is done mostly from the diving tender.
