Ever want to fly and spin through the water like a dolphin or swim with fishes like a mermaid? Then you should head to Bocas Del Toro Panama to try this activity out! I’ve heard this sport called a few different things. My tour company called it “Aqua Boarding”, while I’ve seen others refer to it as “Deep Boarding”. But when I first heard of it, it was called “Coral Surfing” by one of my favorite bloggers Alex in Wanderland.
Essentially, you are pulled from a boat. But instead of a water ski device, you have a board, and you lay in the water. As the boat speeds up, you can push down and the board will pull you under, gliding you above the coral and sea grass. You can then push to the left or right to move in those directions or push really hard to spin in 360 degrees.
It was incredible. You really do move quick over the sea floor and feel like a dolphin or a shark. Speaking of sharks, we quickly moved over a few! But don’t worry, we were gone so quick they didn’t notice us!
I love snorkeling, but this is a whole different experience! I loved getting a huge breath and then going as far down as I could, just gliding over the sea grass, fish watching as I went by!
And the scenery above was beautiful as well.
I highly recommend asking around in Bocas Del Toro, Panama to see which outfit offers this experience!
