Recent dive report with whale shark, manta, current, and visibility context.
Boat-only Coiba National Park dive with rocky terraces, sand channels, and a plankton-rich cleaning-station profile that attracts big marine life.
About Wahoo Rock
Wahoo Rock is Coiba National Park's exposed Pacific pinnacle, a boat-only dive where rocky terraces, sand channels, and cleaning stations draw big pelagics across the water column. Divers usually make a lap around the rock and work the edges of the structure, where plankton-rich water can bring rays, sharks, jacks, snappers, and the occasional whale shark or humpback whale.

Local Intel For Wahoo Rock
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for advanced divers comfortable with current, depth changes, and pelagic animal interactions.
Freediving
Not a casual freedive site because the boat-only profile and deeper water suit scuba more than breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case; the site is built around a deeper boat dive and pelagic encounters.
