When choosing Capurganá as your next holydays destine, don’t think you are in those traditional diving centers where the hotel is the only opportunity to have fun after diving. Here you will find a lot of fun outside: have a walk around, talk to local people and try the Capurganá’s food.
Capurganá is located on the Caribbean Cost of Colombia, near the Panama’s frontier and the Sapzurro’s bay. Because of its geographic position, from December to February, it receives winds from the north that difficult some aquatic activities and the sea access to fishers and launches.

Then, the period from April to November is the best time to come and find crystalline water, perfect to learn and practice diving.
