Freaking Amazing!!!!!
The boat was well thought out for the comforts of a diver from the deck layout, electric outlets to the towels!!! The sleeping rooms were spacious and had ait of room for storage. Things ran very smoothly from communicating with the boat prior to the trip, pick up at hotel in SJ, all the diving and meals, and the return. I would definitely go with the Argo again! Next time I'll have to try the submarine. The crew and guides were amazing. They helped to accommodate every request with a smile.

Truely amaizing diving
We had an amazing time on board the Argo. Diving was excellent!! We saw all we had expected and more!! You can never get tired of hammerheads, tigers, galapagos, silvertips, mantas, eagle rays, marbled rays... But if you do there are lots of other things to see from sea horses to dolphins. The Argo staff was the best ever. So professional, friendly and helpful. They made the whole trip run super smooth. Thank you!!

Extremely well run and organized operation coupled with a great destination!
Abundance of large apex predators, and otherwise large amounts and variety of marine life. Dove one dive with humpback whales vocalizing throughout the dive - amazing. Being provided with an opportunity to dive to 300 meters in the onboard sub was incredible, a definite bucket-list event. Could not have been more pleased with the friendliness, capabilities and professionalism of the crew - they go the extra distance to ensure you can extract the best of the diving available.

Trip of a lifetime
Diving the cocos islands was always a dream for me, well the trip lived up to the dream. Great organization from start to finish. Diving world class, all the staff onboard professional and on hand to ensure diving and life onboard ran smoothly. Diving the cocos islands is not for the non experienced diver, strong currents and tiger sharks require the respect they deserve..seeing all the wildlife up close in the natural environment is the reason you go to cocos. Total respect is paid to the wildlife and environment, no feeding, no touching, no chasing...just dive and experience the true nature all around. Thank you to all the staff, and thank you to all the dive staff for making the diving feel safe but at the same.time a great adventure.

Absolutely Epic Dive Experience and Amazing Hospitality
We had an amazing group and crew which made an already epic dive experience that much better. It seemed like a national geographic expedition with 5 star service and we were fortunate enough to have a solid group of divers from all over the world. Our dive masters were very experienced and we were able to see 12' mantas, walls of hammerhead, tiger shark, white/black tip, galapagos, silky sharks and on our last day a magnificent 20' whale shark. Truly epic dive experience that i can truly say was the best of my life.

Excellent accommodations and very relaxing and 5 stars for the meals
The weather was excellent and the diving was outstanding. It was so nice to disconnect from the rest of the world for 11 days and just relax and enjoy the diving. This isn't a trip for inexperienced divers given the depth of each dive. It was very fast pace diving, not much room for error and each diver must equalize quickly and get down fast. I was be going back again.
