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.

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.

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.

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.

All around amazing Liveaboard
Mind-blowing dives with schooling sharks and fish, a world-class crew - all master of service within their disciplines, personalized care for each of the guests, a clean and comfortable boat with so many little touches (e.g. laundry, beer, nightly events), all with the backdrop of a beautiful and untouched paradise island
