Highlights
The Sea Hunter Liveaboard is a purpose-built vessel offering year-round diving in Cocos Island. She is an incredibly stable, robust vessel and has 'zero speed stabilizers' that lower into the water when moored to add stability, making the Sea Hunter an ideal choice for diving in Costa Rica. She has 8 standard cabins on the lower deck, with twin or double beds; all are air-conditioned, carpeted throughout, and include en-suite bathrooms. The upper deck has 2 double suites with panoramic views, en-suite bathrooms, AC, and carpet; each suite features hand-painted artwork by Carlos Hiller on the walls.
Social areas aboard the Sea Hunter include a lounge with chairs, long padded seating areas, DVDs, videos, games, and more, as well as a mini-bar. The dining room has five 4-person booths arranged in two rows and serves American and local Costa Rican cuisine, including fresh tropical fruits, salads, fish, chicken, and beef prepared in a variety of ways. It also offers a study area with a relaxed atmosphere, an extensive library, and a video and digital photography editing suite.
Sea Hunter itineraries in Costa Rica run 10 or 11 nights, giving divers the chance to experience Cocos Island to the fullest. Because of Cocos Island's remote location, the diving is pristine, marine life is abundant, and divers can expect to see schooling white-tip reef sharks, schooling hammerheads, dolphins, manta rays, sailfish, and more. The dive facilities are well designed to ensure maximum comfort. Each diver gets individual gear storage and under-seat storage, plus personal camera lockers, and certified divers get free Nitrox.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.
