Tiger Rock (Roca Tigre) Dive
9° 12.7′ N · 81° 55.1′ W
An offshore pinnacle off Punta Valiente that rises from deep water to the surface — mantas, schooling fish and sharks including hammerheads for advanced divers.
Practical
Position from GeoNames (Tiger Rock, 09°12'42"N, 081°55'05"W). About an hour's run from Bocas Town; advanced divers only; exposed to strong waves, so treated as seasonal — go in September or October (Tourism Panama). No shelter at the rock — dive from a tender with a skipper aboard.
Best for
Advanced divers in the calm season
