The Okeanos Aggressor II liveaboard was built for comfort and stability to offer year-round diving at the remote islands of Costa Rica. The yacht provides comfortable accommodation for 24 guests in 12 en-suite cabins. Eight deluxe staterooms are located on the lower deck, and there is a double lower bed and twin upper bunk-style bed. On the main deck is the master stateroom with a queen bed, and on the upper deck are two suites that have either two twin beds or one king bed.
On the main deck is the ship's restaurant, where delicious cuisine with a varied and plentiful menu is served. Breakfast and lunches are buffet-style, and dinner is chef-prepared and served each evening. On the top deck is the BBQ and shaded cocktail bar, perfect for unwinding with fellow guests to discuss the spectacular diving of the day. Here, you can also find comfortable loungers to do some tanning in between dives.
The Okeanos II liveaboard departs from Puntarenas, Costa Rica for the 36-hour crossing to Costa Rica. Guests can enjoy up to 21 dives at the UNESCO World Heritage site for the chance of big fish encounters like nowhere else.

The trip was awesome and highly recommended for anyone seeking great adventure!!!!
The trip was amazing. The crew is outstanding and everything is always prepared, and there are never any issues or excuses. The food is over the top and the presentation is 5 star for liveaboard life. They are very professional. One of our dives was one of the best in my life with hundreds of hammerheads and a Whaleshark. We also encountered about 40 marble rays in a mating frenzy which was fascinating. Overall great experience.

A dive site that deserves its place in the world top
An overall positive experience thanks to an exceptional dive site and a quality service especially in terms of catering. I was able to observe all the marine fauna I had come to see: hammerhead sharks, Galpagos and Silver tips sharks, whale sharks and manta rays. Lots of beautiful memories thanks to a group of divers and a friendly team. The few negative points are related to the comfort on the boat: very rudimentary outdoor spaces, a slightly old boat and too much air conditioning in the cabins that it is impossible to adjust individually.

Fantastic trip. Highly recommended.
Going in April you get benefit of better conditions, warmer water, calmer crossing and less current. This comes with the trade off of less big groups of pelagics. That said we had plenty of great encounters with hammerheads, galapogas, silky, black tips, dolphins, eagles and Mantas. They were almost all lovely doves. The team was excellent, in particular Luis and Facundo as dive guides, Esteban and Gerardo as the chefs and Giancarlo on hospitality. I’ve been on 6 liveaboarda and the food was the best I’ve had, incredibly sushi nights, steak and many more. The boat is older but incredibly solid. Most of the negative reviews I’ve read were on the boat, yes the cabins are a bit ‘cozy’ but I knew this going into and didn’t mind. Overall the boat is in great structural condition, everything works very well it just has slightly dated decor and smaller cabins.

PuraVida in this JurassicPark like environment
What a special island, and a special feeling to be lucky enough to have been there. Crew was amazing, dives were warm and with good viz, many hammer heads around, eagle and marble rays, dolphins etc... although the best season apparently ranges from August to October, with colder waters and loads of sharks. PuraVida !

A journey through time and space
The trip to Cocos Island in Costa Rica aboard the Okeanos Aggressor II was unforgettable. With a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable crew of the operation, we were able to visit this magical destination that transports one in time and space. On the trip we shared with people from several countries around the world in a very pleasant atmosphere, being able to visit fantastic diving spots where we saw multiple species of pelagic animals from the Pacific Ocean.

Excellent crew, guides, and dive operation made for a fun and memorable Cocos experience despite an aging boat, small shared cabins, and El Niño-affected marine life.
The crew was wonderful and worked incredibly hard to make the trip enjoyable. The dive guides were excellent, and the service was outstanding. Before each dive, our tanks were swapped, BCDs were set up, and everything was ready to go—we simply had to hop into the Zodiac, do a quick gear check, and start diving. The dives themselves were a lot of fun, with deep profiles, negative entries, and, of course, the opportunity to see the famed hammerheads. The boat was older than I expected, and the shared cabins were quite small and could have been cleaner. We also experienced some issues with the AC leaking. The food was decent overall, and the sushi celebration prepared by the chef mid-trip was a particularly nice touch. Conditions and marine life were affected by El Niño during our trip, but the guides did a great job of keeping the experience positive and making the most of what we encountered. Overall, the crew, dive operation, and service were the highlights of the trip. PS: One unexpectedly wonderful perk was the consistent high-speed internet (40 USD for 8GB, if I recall) on the 36-hour crossing that enabled me to work the whole way over and back - it saved me a few days of PTO!

- Great service from the staff re: diving gear/setup. Fun, stimulating dives around a beautiful island. Consistent internet on the crossings so I could even work to save PTO days..

Trip of a lifetime
The diving exceeded expectations, the crew was so hospitable and went out of their way to make sure we lacked for nothing, and the food was the best I've ever had on a liveaboard. The only criticism, is that the boat's common areas could use a little updating.

Big animal life not as abundant as expected/anticipated
Overall, boat, food and crew were great. White tip sharks abundant, other shark life averaged 1 or 2 per dive, with Galapagos, black tip, hammerhead and tiger sharks. Limited sites around Cocos. Crossings were better than expected. Water was very warm, 3mm wetsuit fine, but probably why the bigger life was limited, El Niño conditions?
