About La lengua
La lengua is a shallow boat dive in Coiba National Park on Panama's Pacific coast, with a sandy entry, a short wall, and a gently sloping plateau that make it an easy warm-up site. The reef feels relaxed and protected, but it still gives divers a proper route with sharks on the sand, reef fish over the plateau, and enough terrain to stay interesting beyond the entry.
