Pedasi is a small town located on the southeastern end of the Azuero peninsula in the Province of Los Santos . This is the heartland of Panamanian country.

Pedasi is the home town president Mireya Moscoso, and during her term, the town of Pedasi benefited greatly in the form of good roads, lighting and other infrastructure.

Pedasi is located near Isla Iguana, which is a natural island reserve, with beautiful white sand beaches, and a very large variety of birds.

Pedasi has beautiful beaches, If you’re looking for great diving and sport fishing without the typical high rise all included resorts look no farther.

SCUBA Divers can find it all here; wrecks, seamounts, current diving, Isla Iguana and the Islas Frailes north and south. The best time of the year for diving here is from April to December. From January to March the waters are affected by strong northerly winds and upwelling currents coming out of the south from Peru . This is not to say you can’t dive in Pedasi year round, however conditions can, and do change day to day during January to March.

Pedasi Things to DoFishing; Sport fishing, in all types of watercraft is at it’s best. The waters off of Pedasi have been given the name the “ Tuna Coast ”. Yellow Fin, Skip Jack, Black Skipjack, Black, Blue, Stripped Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Wahoo, Rooster Fish, and much more.

Whale watching is done from July to September when the Humpback whales migrate from South America to the warmer waters of the tropics.
Sea turtles are here year round and very common during the months of September to October when they arrive in large numbers to lay their eggs at Isla Cañas.
Whale sharks are seen year round and further out to sea during the months of January to April pods of Orcas are sometimes seen.

From Las Tablas, a road runs 42km south through cattle country to PEDASI , a friendly, uneventful little village best known as the hometown of President Mireya Moscoso and as the jumping-off point for Isla Iguana .
