Outstanding dive trip
Even with El Niño negatively affecting the dive environment, we still encountered hammerheads, Galapagos and Black Tip sharks. Not to mention the abundance of fish, reef sharks, and rays. The crew went out of their way to make our trip as comfortable, safe, and successful as possible.

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

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.

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 !
