Cocos Islands Live-Aboard Diving
Cocos Island definitely provides the premiere diving in Costa Rica -- and one of the world's leading dive destinations. It is the best, most exciting, advanced and expensive diving in Costa Rica is Cocos Island (Isle del Coco),
No matter the cost, it's a bargain for some of the world's greatest diving. I'm not suggesting that you sell the kids to go but almost anything short of that should be considered.
Live-aboard diving to the Cocos Islands aboard the Sea Hunter, Undersea Hunter, and Okeanos Aggressor offer the ultimate dream dive vacation.
Allow a couple of weeks when planning these trips. The crossing after boarding the boat in Puntarenas takes 36 hours, so dive trips require 10 days for the 7 dive day trip and 12 days for the longer trips that include Malpelo Island.
Located in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, 300 miles southwest of Cabo Blanco, Costa Rica, lies the famous Cocos Island Marine Park.
A rugged and incredibly beautiful island, this World Heritage Site is the crown jewel of Costa Rica's many National Parks.
Cocos Island has an irregular coastline, which makes estimation of land area more a matter of opinion than a surveyor’s science, but it is roughly five miles by two miles (8 x 3 kilometers).
The island was formed during a volcanic upheaval about two-and-a-half million years ago and is composed of basaltic rock, labacorite and andecite lava flows.
Its landmass is punctuated by four mountain peaks, the highest of which is Cerro Yglesisas, at 2,080 feet or 634 meters.
The island has two large bays with safe anchorages and sandy beaches: Chatham is located on the northeast side and Wafer Bay is on the northwest.
Just off Cocos are a series of smaller basaltic rocks and islets. The largest satellite is Isla Manuelita (formerly Nuez).
If you want to take this trip of a lifetime, ask our agents when there is space available – you definitely won’t want to miss this boat!!
