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 !

Shark Heaven off Cocos
Every dive was very good, but the first dive we saw the Whale Shark. On several of the dives, the Barber fish cleaning stations were so active it was a constant flow of hammerheads.
- Recommended for
- The dive panga crew was excellent - Roberto, Juan Manuel and Balin are some of the best we have dove with. Great shark experience; whale shark, lots of hammerheads and white tips, silkies, Galapagos and oceanic blackcaps.

"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.

Best trip ever among the best crew in the world.
We are ecstatic about the recent trip on the Sea Hunter to Coco’s Island. In over a dozen Liveaboards,, we have never experienced such an amazing crew of professional divers, guides, crew, chefs and everyone else on the boat. They made our experience unforgettable.

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!

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.
