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.

Anazing dives with tons of hammerheads! Great experience, but the toilet drainage sometimes smells and saw a few cockroaches. Love it overall!

Aggressor does not disappoint!
The quality of services provided by Aggressor and the scenery and dive site are exceptional. I invite nationals and foreigners to visit Cocos Island on the Agreessor III, the newest of the Aggressor fleet in Costa Rica.

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.

- A crew of which EVERY single one offered professional and friendly service at ALL times. The observation of a hammerhead shark at a relatively short distance. First-class catering.

Cocos is one of the few dive locations that lived up to the hype in spades, best pelagics diving I've done thus far.
Cocos is one of the few dive locations that lived up to the hype in spades. Giant Mantas 1 foot away several times, interacting. A Pod of 30+ Bottlenose Dolphins playing with us for 20 mins.Giant Schools of Hammerhead Sharks on several dives, Hammers on every dive.The Food and Professionalism on the Boat was Awesome, Especially the DM and Trip Director Warren. Give Warren a Raise. The boat ride is a long one, but totally worth it. The world needs to mimic the marine protections that the Costa Rican Government has put in place at Cocos.

I enjoyed the dives, the reliable daily routine was relaxing, food is excellent, enough space for everyone, the crew is amazing, helping all the time, kind and always in a good mood. The comfort is good, you do not need more when you dive!

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.

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!

Great liveaboard for anyone who loves big fish.
It was one of the best liveaboards we have done. A lot of big fish and wonderful experiences and dive sites.The boat was ok, a bit old, but still luxurious. A lot of defects (Panda and nitrox) have reduced the overall result a bit.

- The crew was always nice and helpful in all matters. The dive sites were well chosen and we had a say. The food was amazing.
