Cocos Island (Isla del Coco) is a remote, protected national park located about 340 miles (about 550 kilometers) off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Renowned among divers and marine biologists, it’s famous for large pelagic encounters—particularly hammerhead sharks—thrilling underwater topography, and lush tropical rainforest.
We will spend 12 days/11 nights & 8 days of diving exploring world class dive sites from aboard the M/V Sea Hunter; a tried & true ocean going vessel.
Cocos offers some of the most rewarding big-animal diving on the planet. It’s a commitment in time and cost, but for those seeking powerful encounters with apex predators in a wild, pristine setting, it’s often described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
