Balboa was a Spanish explorer and conqueror, known for crossing the Isthmus of Panama into the Pacific Ocean in 1513. He was the first European to lead such an expedition that allowed him to see and reach the Pacific Ocean directly from the New World.

So, the important body of water discovered by Balboa was, indeed, the Pacific Ocean.
