Hammerheads galore
It was an absolutely dream of a liveaboard, Cocos does not disappoint. Hammerheads are such a daily fixture that you get used to see them every dive. Got so many beautiful memories (and videos). It is a very expensive trip, but definitely worth it !!

The professionally trained crew offers guests unique diving experiences as well as an extremely comfortable stay on board.
The observation of a hammerhead shark at a relatively short distance. There was at least one whitetip reef shark to spot on every dive. Large swarms of jacks could often be observed. The organization of the procedures on the dive deck always allowed for a RELAXED preparation and follow-up of the dives. A coffee machine that dispensed really VERY GOOD coffee at ALL times.

Exceptional Cocos Island experience
Incredible sealife - including schooling hammerheads and dolphins, enormous manta rays and countless Galapogos sharks, all within clouds of other fish. Excellent service from the crew made us feel very special, and made it one of the most memorable holidays we have ever had.

Can't Wait to do it again!
I booked this liveaboard for my 50th birthday and it did not disappoint. The boat was comfortable and spacious. The crew could not have been better. Jorge, our waiter, was super nice and accommodating. The Chef did a fantastic job! As a pescatarian, they were very accommodating but I would have liked more bean and tofu options for protein. The Panga drivers, Alberto and Lito, were awesome. The dive leaders, Mauricio and Warren were phenomenal. I followed Warren from Panga to Panga because I enjoyed his leadership and guiding. I dived with Mauricio one day and he was fantastic too! I was sad to leave but inspired to do it again.

Amazing Dive Trip
I had an amazing time on the Cocos Island Aggressor, the crew was super nice and helpful. They prepared our dive gear, showed us the beautiful island (not just diving but also above water tours). The food was excellent and they could easily adapt to whatever food needs/restrictions the guests had. The crew was always up for a joke, and it felt like a family. The diving of course was the best with schools of hammerheads, a tiger shark, manta rays, mobula rays, eagle rays, galapagos sharks and white tips.

The Crew and Island are the entire trip!
Cannot emphasize enough how fabulous this trip was. Cocos Island has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth ... both out of and under the water. Capt. Mauricio is an absolute gem! Always laughing and helped me when I got a little nervous with the 5ft+ swells, gave me the nickname Scarey Shark - hahahah! As a matter of fact the entire crew were gems! Each one always had a smile on their face and made sure that your stay aboard the Cocos Island Aggressor was perfect. Warren the Cruise Director/Dive Guide was passionate, knowledgeable and did an amazing presentation at the end with the video of our trip. You can tell he loves Cocos and diving ... I think sometimes he got so wrapped up in enjoying the dive that he forgot he was our dive guide. Our server Eduardo was spectacular; had our drinks ready at each meal, our room turned down with chocolate each night and EVEN DID LAUNDRY (which is a huge plus on such a long trip) The rooms were nice and comfortable. The WC had a slight odor but seriously what do you expect from a boat. There were designated space under the beds for suitcases which was also a plus. The diving was out of the this world. El Niño ended in April and we were in a La Niña with colder water which brought in the sharks. Oh my goodness were there sharks! Hundreds of sharks! But not only that we saw a Manta, Whale Shark, sharks mating and one person in our group saw a Stripped Marlin in the distance not to forget ALL the fish! We were in the rainy season which I was not looking forward and now I think that is the only time to go. This brought in alot of rain, wind and big swells so trips in the panga were quite bumpy but also brings in all the large pelagics. The land tours were great too. Thank you to the crew of the Cocos Island Aggressor! Can't wait to come back!
