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!

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.

Sharks, Sharks, & more Sharks 🦈
Had a wonderful time on the Undersea Hunter. Best diving experience of my life. Saw Galapagos, Silky, Blacktip, Whitetip, tiger, and whale sharks. Our guides were extremely observant and attuned to what was in the water around us. I felt safe on every dive. The food was the freshest I’ve had on a liveaboard. 2 pillows per person was a nice touch. The only thing I would bring is an extra towel (towels in the cabins don’t dry quickly, but it was also used 2-3x a day). They also provide towels on deck and dry them in between dives for you. It was such an excellent trip and well worth the cost.

"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 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.

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.
