A great trip!
Not the high season and El Nino this year, but guides did wonderful jobs to find hummer heads and many other small stuff like frog fish.

All around amazing Liveaboard
Mind-blowing dives with schooling sharks and fish, a world-class crew - all master of service within their disciplines, personalized care for each of the guests, a clean and comfortable boat with so many little touches (e.g. laundry, beer, nightly events), all with the backdrop of a beautiful and untouched paradise island

Seeing many hammerheads, Galapagos and white tip sharks. Also seeing a tiger shark and a silky shark. The boat was amazing and the crew was the best (Manuel, cruise director is outstanding). Food is best in class !!

Amazing trip in Cocos Island!
This trip on Cocos Island was amazing: hundreds of hammersharks, a whale sharks, dolphins and many galapagos & silver tip sharks. I think our 2 divemasters (Juan Manuel and Luis) were amazing: probably among the best in the world! They know the divesites very very well since they are very experienced in Cocos Island, they can anticipate where to go depending on the conditions (current, swell...) and the sharks behaviour. Many thanks to them! I think it was necessary to have at least 2 divemasters for a very big group of 10 divers. One in the front to lead the dive and one at the back to try to spot animals and to make sure nobody is lost in the blue. The general atmosphere on the boat was friendly and very fun. The food was good and the room very nice, with a good level of service. I strongly recommend Sea Hunter!

The best trip for me on planet earth.
Schools of hammerheads; all the different rays: manta, mobula, bat and marble; jack school; a trip in the submersible to 1000’ but also, all of the other fish, big and small…I loved them all.

"Pura Vida!" The 'must dive' Cocos experience.
Swimming with a wall of hammerhead sharks, drifting with thousands of Jack's, and diving with knowledgeable experts and good diving companions. These memories will stay with me for ever. It did rain for most of the trip, but that did not spoil it for me, even with reduced visibility by Cocos standards, it was amazing to a British diver. This is not a trip for the inexperienced. There was some challenging currents and waves, but our trip was in the rainy season. Everything was very efficiently run and all were extremely helpful and friendly. To really seal an excellent trip, my clothes were washed, dried and neatly folded just before we returned. Luxury indeed; worth every penny and hopefully I will return to Cocos, on Sea Hunter but in the dry season.

Excellent crew, food, comfort
Hammerheads, Carlos, our Cruise Director, has the patience of a saint. He fixed my faulty equipment onboard the panga twice, immediately before the dives so I did not miss any dives. Deeply appreciated his cool, calm and humourous attitude.
