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.

- 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.

Dive Dive Dive!
Dive was great. I saw what I wanted to see, including a whale shark. Crew was very helpful. Dive staff were very professhional. Maybe because it was full moon, I felt like the view of Cocos island was very special (and beautiful!) The only thing I can complain is engine nosie is too loud.

"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.

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.
