Isla Brincanco

Isla Brincanco is an uninhabited islet north of Coiba, Panama. Coiba is a protected island with unique flora, fauna and wildlife. It is very expensive to anchor at Coiba as they are attempting to protect the reefs from boat anchors. So we picked this islet to anchor near for 3 nights after sailing friends told us of it's beauty. The bay was pristine with visibility in the water under our boat to 35-40 feet. There are 2 areas of robust reefs with hundreds of different kinds of fish, eels, sting rays, scallops and more. We snorkeled for 3 afternoons amongst this big variety of underwater creatures, but not one picture will be had as our underwater camera decided to break. Even out of the water it refuses to cooperate in it's task to capture the sights. Before swimming with it we did get a couple of shots of the beautiful bay we anchored in.

The reef was in front of these rocks.
