Definition of a Panga: boat of shallow draft, having a pointed bow and a square stern ... The Central American version of a skiff.
PANGAS - The pangas offer you endless flexibility, as opposed to a normal liveaboard scuba boat. The Andrea Lynn piggybacks 10 of these 21 foot skiffs with 75 horse outboards to the dive locations. You can move at your own pace – you can fish, hike, snorkel or scuba dive whenever and wherever you want between sunrise and sunset. Your assigned panga driver is there to please you. As long as you stay within your diving limits, you can dive as little or as much as you want. Each panga driver is assigned 2-4 people. A popular schedule is as follows:
6:00am – gourmet breakfast
6:30am – head out in the panga for an early morning fishing trip
9:00am-12:00pm – 1 to 2 dives
12:00-gourmet lunch
