The UnderSea Hunter is a great way to experience the amazing diving of Cocos Island.
The UnderSea Hunter is a great way to experience the amazing diving of Cocos Island. The crew is wonderful and the diving is wild. We saw five different types of sharks and had a closeup encounter with an oceanic manta ray. Got to explore the island twice, which was truly a remarkable experience. Definitely recommend this for those advanced divers looking for a thrill.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
