Las Morenas is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Isla Iquana, Los Santos, Panama. The maximum depth is 51-60ft/16-18m. The average visibility is 26-30ft/8-9m.

Immediately upon entering the water we were surrounded by a large school of Spadefish who circled us within 3-4’ like a tornado! They continued to circle for at least a minute or two. It was amazing. There were small coral heads here and there with significant life around them. It’s a but murky but I was astonished by the amount of different types of fish.

We also saw turtles, butterflyfish, parrotfish, trumpetfish, and many others I do not know the names for. The guide told me their names in Spanish but I can’t remember them.

The island is a protected nature reserve and there are thousands of Brown Pelicans, Frigates, and others. It was a great place to spend time wandering between dives.
