great trip in Cocos
We had really great dives at Cocos, full of hammerheads and other species ! The skiff drivers and dive instructors really try to give you a great experience - short stops on sea after spotting wildlife or even stops to see different places of the islands (waterfalls, etc - stayed on the boat) The boat is very nicely designed with a place for everything. All you need is onboard. The crew was amazing, very helpful, always in a good mood. Food was great too : healthy and different everyday !

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!

Very nice dive trip.
Many things are thought out and provided for in advance. Daily briefings, discussion with participants of past dives and coordination of dives for the next day. Moving the dive site if conditions do not allow it to be done safely. I'm a wonderful cruise director (Yen). I felt confident even though I had returned to diving after more than three years off.
